The Carroll campus has been celebrating our ninth consecutive year ranked as U.S. News & World Report’s best “Regional College in the West.” A party was held in the Campus Center last Friday to honor our students, faculty and staff who have made this recognition possible. |

U.S. News provides one of the most comprehensive and reputable higher education ranking systems in the nation and although Carroll has held this distinction for an unprecedented nine years, we don’t take our position for granted. As President Cech shared in the press release, “We are not content to rest on our laurels. We continually look for ways to improve the academic experience for our students to help make them both productive and marketable in their future careers. We want to be part of the workforce solution and we believe our students are the answer.”
In addition to the #1 ranking for Best Regional College in the West, Carroll also retained the top standing for Best Regional College in the West for Veterans for the fifth year in a row, and #3 for for Best Value College in the West, ranking in the top three for four years in a row.

The Carroll College Theatre Department will be hosting the first-ever TEDxCarrollCollege in the FLEX Theatre on March 14, 2020, and we are seeking speakers!
The event is fast approaching and we are looking for faculty, staff, students and alumni who have ideas they want to share. This TEDx event will consist of 8 to 10 speakers who come from various backgrounds. Our first TEDx at Carroll will not have a topic associated with the event, and so we encourage anyone who has an idea to submit a proposal.
You can find the proposal form and guidelines here: https://forms.gle/qE88DtbMfLGocm3ZA
Apply soon because the application deadline is November 1, 2019. Final speaker selections will be announced in January 2020.
Each speaker will be given ample time to prepare their talk throughout January and February before the culminating event in March. Each speaker's talk will be made into a digital video that will be disseminated on campus, as well as the national TEDx community, YouTube, and other social media platforms.
Here are two videos that will inform you more about TEDx:

| HONORING JOHN ETCHART '67 |
|
 Friends, family and alumni, along with current and former coaches, faculty, staff and students gathered together this past Saturday to celebrate a true Carroll Saint. The John Newton Etchart Hall of Excellence in the Carroll College PE Center was dedicated in honor of John Etchart, class of 1967.
The Hall of Excellence was made possible through the generosity of the extended Etchart family as well as other gracious donors. The Etchart Hall of Excellence provides a much improved first impression of the PE Center lobby with new flooring, walls, ceiling, interior and exterior doors, as well as an enhanced concession stand. A plaque honoring John Etchart adorns the wall near the entrance. View the text of plaque here.
Thank you Etchart family for honoring a man whose love for Carroll ran deep as well as providing our current student-athletes with a PE Center to be proud of! |
