Introducing Lives of the Carroll Saints

Lives of the Carroll Saints

The Carroll College Office of Institutional Advancement is proud to introduce Lives of the Carroll Saints, a new podcast created in collaboration with the Library Communication Center.

This recurring, episodic series is designed to celebrate the people, relationships, and experiences that define the Carroll community. Through meaningful conversations and personal storytelling, Lives of the Carroll Saints highlights the lasting impact of a Carroll education and the shared values that continue to shape the College across generations.

Each week, members of the Carroll community host engaging conversations with alumni, faculty, staff, donors, and friends of the College. These stories reflect not only individual journeys, but also the collective spirit of service, leadership, and connection that defines what it means to be a Saint.

The series launches with three compelling conversations:

  • Episode 1: Dagim Degaro joins Patrick Harris to reflect on decades of student connection, mentorship, and the enduring Carroll mission.
  • Episode 2: Kellie Dold sits down with Gayle Agostinelli, whose lifelong dedication to Carroll and the Helena community embodies what it means to be a Saint.
  • Episode 3: Annette Walstad and John Rausch share stories of leadership, service, and the lasting influence of Carroll on their lives and work.

Through these conversations, listeners are invited to reconnect with the people and experiences that make Carroll College so meaningful.

Lives of the Carroll Saints offers a new way to bring the Carroll community together through storytelling. By highlighting personal experiences and lasting relationships, the podcast helps listeners reconnect with the mission and spirit of the College. 

At the Office of Institutional Advancement, our hope is that these conversations also help support annual giving by amplifying the voices of our community. As our listeners consider what it means to be a Carroll Saint, we are building a sense of shared pride and gratitude while encouraging continued engagement with the people and programs that make Carroll special.

We invite you to listen, reflect, and reconnect with the lives that continue to shape Carroll College.
