Mind, Body & Spirit
Forty-five minutes before the Hail Mary pass that saved Homecoming, the second-most exciting thing of the day happened. President Tom Evans, campaign chair Tom Walsh ’81 and Carroll student leaders unveiled the public phase of MIND BODY SPIRIT the Campaign for Carroll College.
The campaign, which has been quietly in the works for awhile, has raised over 88% towards its ultimate goal of $20 million – which means the college is just $2.3 million away from successfully completing its first-ever capital campaign.
By sharing the campaign publically, Carroll is inviting individuals, who both support the mission of the college and who want to make a positive difference in the lives of our students both current and future, to make their mark and have a hand in creating a bright future for Carroll College.
There are many exciting elements to the campaign, which focuses on Educating the Whole Person in mind, body and spirit. The building projects include the new Hunthausen Activity Center, Corette Library enhancements including The Center for Professional Communication, a new campus chapel and infrastructure to accommodate our rapidly growing Anthrozoology program.
Learn more about the campaign, read why others have chosen to participate, find out how you can contribute and view architectural renderings of the various projects at mindbodyspirit.carroll.edu.
We are inviting all our alumni, supporters and friends to join us in our “i’m in” initiative so we can all be part of cultivating a new and improved Carroll for future generations.

Homecoming Highlights
It was a fabulous Homecoming weekend with over 5,000 of our closest Carroll friends and family joining together to celebrate and reminisce.
The classes of 1965, 1975, 1985, 1995 and 2005 all held class reunions at various venues around town as well as ASCC members past and present. Reunion photos can be viewed at www.carroll.edu/alumni.
On those years when Mother Nature cooperates, a popular Homecoming event is Mass in the Grotto. This year we had beautiful weather and a special guest in Bill Thompson ’50.
Bill Thompson '50 helped build the Grotto when he was 9 years old. 
The digging of the Grotto began in the fall of 1934 under the direction of Fr. Weber who at the time was principal of Cathedral High School. The Grotto took years to build and was finally completed and dedicated on May 24, 1942. The statue of the Blessed Mother at the Grotto was donated by Fr. Weber and dedicated to his parents and eleven siblings. Pictured below is Bill and his wife Pat at Mass in the Grotto.

Saints for Hope
Carroll students, faculty, staff and a handful of happy Anthrozoology dogs, joined together last Sunday as part of the 2015 Saints for Hope NAMI Walk Team which raised over $1,000 for NAMI Montana (National Alliance for Mental Illness). The donations directly benefit Montana families who are fighting mental illness.
A special thanks to Professor Jack Oberweiser's Alpha students for signing up walkers and staffing the Carroll table at the walk.
Thank you Carroll Saints for helping to de-stigmatize mental illness.
