September 4, 2019 Insider: We're Back

WE'RE BACK!
The Carroll Insider is back!  We took a bit of a hiatus but the Insider has returned and will be published bi-weekly, every other Wednesday. While the President’s Friday newsletter will continue to highlight the big news on campus, the Insider will focus on alumni news, faculty, staff and student highlights, our student-athletes and other information to keep you abreast of what is happening at Carroll.
 
Feel free to reach out to us at news@carroll.edu, if you have ideas or news to share. We look forward to being back in touch!
HOME FOR THE HOUNDS
Last Friday, humans and canines alike celebrated the ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Perkins Call Canine Center.
 
The new center will provide much-needed space for Carroll’s rapidly growing anthrozoology program. Carroll College offered the first anthrozoology undergraduate degree in the country and continues to be a flagship program at the forefront of this academic discipline which studies the interactions between humans and animals.
 
The building, slated to be complete by August 2020, will be a 7,000 square foot facility which will include a 2,600 sq. ft. canine training room, a 30-seat classroom, faculty offices, research rooms, a veterinary treatment room, canine wash rooms, and both indoor and outdoor kennels.
 
This project would not have been possible without the very generous support of Whitney Call ’08 and family, the Mary Alice Fortin Foundation, the E. Phil Maronick Estate, former trustee Margaret Perryman ’68 and an anonymous donor.
 
Photos from the groundbreaking can be found on Carroll’s Facebook page, while excellent media coverage was provided by the Helena IR – Carroll College to break ground on new anthrozoology canine center and KTVH/KXLH – Carroll breaks ground on new canine center.
 
Thank you to all the participated in this special day!
