Dear Alumni and Friends,
March marks the first major alumni road trips of the year, and we are looking forward to connecting with many of you across the country. There is nothing quite like gathering with fellow Saints, hearing your stories, and sharing updates about all that is happening at Carroll.
We begin in Phoenix on March 1 for Carroll’s Day at the Ballpark, where we will reconnect before the Seattle Mariners take on the Texas Rangers. From there, we head to Portland on March 7 to gather with area alumni at Old Town Brewing, followed by events on March 8 in Seattle and New York City. Bishop Vetter will join alumni in Seattle, while Dr. Glowienka looks forward to visiting with Saints at a brunch gathering in New York. Later in the month, Bishop Vetter will travel to Denver on March 18 to meet with alumni and friends in that region.
Each of these gatherings offers a meaningful opportunity to reconnect with classmates and friends, meet fellow alumni in your area, and learn more about the momentum on campus. We are excited to share updates on our students, academic programs, and the many ways Carroll continues to serve Montana and beyond.
For those here in Helena, we also invite you to join us on March 18 for a special screening of Dark Money followed by a panel discussion featuring Governors Marc Racicot and Steve Bullock, along with Jeff Mangan. It promises to be a thoughtful evening of conversation on truth, transparency, and civic responsibility.
Whether near or far, we hope you will join us at one of these March events. Your continued engagement strengthens this community we all cherish. We look forward to seeing you on the road and celebrating what it means to be a Carroll Saint.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Glowienka, Ph.D.
