| | | |  | | Seattlerefined.com recently featured a heartwarming story about the exceptional talent, kindness and compassion of nurse, artist and Carroll alum Mary Larson ’95. Mary is a nurse at Harborview’s Pioneer Square Clinic in Seattle. In her free time she paints portraits of her patients, capturing their personalities in bold strokes and bright colors. Instead of selling the works of art for money, she exchanges the portraits for items to help her patients and the community. View the video featuring Mary and her patients here: Local Nurse is Painting it Forward. |

 | Dr. Lauri Travis, an assistant professor in the sociology and anthropology department as well as the environmental program was recently honored by the Forest Service with a 50th Anniversary National Historic Preservation Award for her archaeological work in partnership with the Helena National Forest. Dr. Travis brings Carroll students into the Big Belt Mountains for 10 days each summer as part of Carroll’s archaeology field school.
Receiving the NHPA is a wonderful recognition, she noted, as the project not only educates students but also educates the public to the heritage in their area.
“This would not be possible, any of this research, without the partnership giving these students the opportunity to do hands on research,” Travis said. Read the IR story here: Forest Service honors partners and volunteers for historic preservation. |
