What I will miss most when I graduate are the people at Carroll. The relationships that I have formed with my friends and some of Carroll’s faculty will last way beyond graduation. Carroll is a great community that has acted as my second family.
Carroll accounting alum, Katie Browne, CPA (pictured on right with Carroll alum, Ryan Gerard), shared these photos of her life in Alaska. Upon graduation from Carroll, Katie began her career as an accountant with Altman Rogers & Co. in Anchorage, traveling the state of Alaska using a variety of means including float planes! Several other Carroll grads have also begun their accounting careers in Alaska including work with Big 4 accounting firms.
B.A. Biology 2005
The Biology Program at Carroll taught me that learning occurs every moment of your life and that friends can be both professors and students. The professors have the ability to establish a personal relationship with each of the students so as to establish an open forum for learning. A Biology graduate from Carroll has the essential skills and qualities to establish him/herself in any field of Biology.
In the fall of 2015, I had the opportunity to work with Warriors and Quiet Waters Foundation, LLC, in Bozeman, MT. They serve to promote positive change in traumatically wounded combat veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan through fly fishing in Montana. I studied the therapeutic value of fly fishing and outdoor rehabilitation for combat wounded veterans.
After graduating from Carroll in 2015 with an English degree and a restless heart, I moved to Chicago to pursue a Master's degree at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.
For a kid who grew up in New Hampshire and grew wiser (depending on who you ask) in Helena, Chicago marked a significant shift in my personal and professional life.
The grand landscapes and striking mountains to which I was accustomed were replaced by urban sprawl and skyscrapers.

Bubba Bartlett, a Community Health (now called Public Health) major from the class of 2011, spent his four years at Carroll working hard both in the classroom and on the football field. While he helped to produce two national NAIA championships (2007-11), he was also among the first graduates in the Health Sciences major.
“What I love about Carroll's Health Science program is its flexibility, empowering students to tailor their education to their unique career goals while staying nimble in the face of the ever-changing healthcare industry.”
