How did engineering at Carroll affect your career path? After Carroll, I went on to work for Morrison-Maierle and am with them to this day. It has been a challenging and fulfilling experience and has helped shape my career. I have learned that if you step outside of your comfort zone and take risks, it will open the door to new opportunities.
Carroll was not only the college I attended, but also my home for 4 years. It is a school where your professors are both your mentors and friends, where classmates work toward success together, and where you receive an education that more than adequately prepares you for your future profession. After having completed my first year of medical school, I realized even more the superior education provided by the Carroll biology program. In every class I felt prepared and many times already comfortable with the material. Thank you to all of my professors at Carroll.
Carroll College provided the skills I needed to be successful in the work force. Communication skills I developed at Carroll have allowed me to build and effectively provide training that grabs attention and accurately depicts potential life and death scenarios on the construction site. I use the research skills I developed at Carroll on a weekly basis in my position. Gathering survey information for at-risk work areas and building trend information reports to communicate and, in turn, mitigate injuries is a major role for me.

What do you plan on doing in the future?
Major: Psychology; Minor: Theology
I decided to be a theology minor because I was struggling in my Psychology major. It really bothered me that a person’s faith life was simply dismissed in many areas of psychology. I wanted to be a Psychology major to eventually help serve marginalized members of society and by choosing to pair my major with theology I am able to better understand the people I hope to serve, and hopefully understand life on a deeper spiritual level as well.
Andrew Chenovick graduated from Carroll College in 2010 with a degree in Communication Studies and Public Relations with an emphasis in Journalism and a minor in TV Production.
"I graduated from Carroll College in May 2016, with a major in mathematics and a minor in physics. I'm currently attending graduate school at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I am working on obtaining my Ph.D. in mathematics, and in my first year here, I am already leaning towards a career in research on fluid dynamics. I am really grateful to have studied at Carroll for my undergraduate studies; the tutelage of the professors in the math department at Carroll has heavily influenced my mathematical intuition, and I couldn't be more excited for the journey ahead."
What kept me going was the caring and welcoming environment created by my professors in the nursing program. They mean it when they say “my door is always open,” and it was clearly evident that they cared deeply for us as a person, student and nurse. Knowing we were in this journey together, my classmates and I formed a tight bond working as a team to help one another succeed. Carroll’s unique clinical experiences made all the difference for me.
