On Campus

Carthage College combines an environment of reflection and self-discovery with a culture of high expectation so our students uncover and ignite their true potential. A four-year, private liberal arts college with roots in the Lutheran tradition, the campus has a prime location in Kenosha. The campus, an 80-acre arboretum on the shore of Lake Michigan, is home to 150 scholars, 2,600 full-time students, and 400 part-time students.

Fifteen new professors include a professional magician, an Oscar winner, a former network TV producer, and a couple of cancer researchers.

Four priorities we can all unite behind

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

What would YOU do?

y guess is that you know Carthage pretty well, or you probably wouldn’t be reading this latest issue of the beautiful Carthaginian magazine. As an alum, staff member, student, or friend, your experiences with the College have not only brought you close to our great institution, but also probably have brought you some intuitive thoughts about the future and well-being of the College from time to time. If this is true, then I have a little exercise for you: Take a moment and imagine that you are the president of Carthage. (Have some fun — it is a great thing to be!) Given your affection for the school, as you look to some important initiatives to move forward, the question is: What would YOU do? Depending on your background, I can imagine some fun answers to this question; win a national championship, build a boardwalk on the lake, dig tunnels between all of the buildings — and heat them! Perhaps add a new degree — how about engineering? Maybe air-condition all of the residence halls and construct a bridge over Alford Park Drive. Well, in fact, all of those answers would be pretty good, and I would be very happy to pursue any or all of them. However, right now, at this time, what is needed to satisfy the present and to place the College on a purposeful path to a powerful future? As president, your answers might have been one of these four ideas: 1. Complete the unbelievably great new Science Center wing in the David A. Straz Jr. Center for the Natural and Social Sciences and pay off the debt on this critical venture. Good idea! The building is officially open and functioning at a high level, providing our students and faculty with world-class teaching and learning spaces.

carthage.edu

F15_CARTH_03.indd 1

The reality is we are enjoying the space and we have to finish paying for it. Let’s get that over with so we can get started on our next campus project, improving our facilities in the fine arts, providing good space for our new nursing program, and creating a welcome center for the College. 2. Strive as hard as possible to continue to make Carthage an affordable choice for any family and admitted student. I am proud of you for coming up with this one. Can we make this happen? Yes, we can. By growing our endowment for student scholarships, we can transform this dream into reality. Carthage already provides an incredible amount of financial aid, mostly from our own annual operating budget. We need to very seriously build a funding base from our own investments and endowments to support ongoing and further scholarships. This is critically important for the health of our institution and for the health of our nation. Let’s get after this one, and hard. 3. Significantly enhance our services in career and job preparation and education, and create experiential learning options that are undeniably powerful in taking our students from graduation to career. An education in the liberal arts, such as Carthage offers, has been proven, time and again, to be the most productive and powerful way to shape young lives and futures. We will never waver on that philosophy. Yet, I would bet that some of you have come up with this thought: What about the liberal arts with an added advantage? What about professional preparation through the liberal arts? What if we hang on to what is great, yet build upon that base a varied set of strong programs and opportunities that

enable the tough transition from student to young professional? Very good thinking, Ms. or Mr. President! Internships, mentoring from alumni and professional partners, study abroad, undergraduate research, and a compelling thesis experience are all advantages that Carthage can provide for every student — advantages, remember, that sit on top of the strong traditional learning and growth that comes from a broad and deep liberal education. You think this is the best of both worlds? Well, so do I. 4. Encourage philanthropy for the annual operation of our amazing college. For those of you who realize that the business plans of private liberal arts colleges are getting tighter and trickier, I want to thank you personally! Give yourself a hand. Yes, we need to ensure that the College runs year in and year out in a stable and positive way, always looking to a sound future and the realization of one of the best college learning environments in the world. This ability to stay on course and even improve, as we are doing, is rare these days. Your attention to this reality is insightful and brave. Good work, friends! Our little exercise has produced what we believe to be the four pillars of our Campaign for Carthage. With your help, and the help of your friends and associates, we can make all of these dreams come true. Now, what will YOU do to help us? Best wishes, Carthaginians!

National seat amplifies College’s voice Reinforcing his intent to make Carthage’s voice heard in the national conversation, President Gregory S. Woodward has taken part in several major events this fall. In October, he was among 30 invited college and university presidents who met with New York Times editors and reporters to discuss trends in higher education. The event is the highlight of a partnership between the media corporation and the Council of Independent Colleges’ Presidents Council, which elected President Woodward as its chair for 2016. In another CIC proceeding the next day, he met with leaders of large foundations to learn about the types of projects they choose to support — specifically those promoting civic and community engagement. In turn, the foundations

are introduced to effective smaller schools that otherwise would be off their radar. By invitation, President Woodward also attended an event at the White House in September. Several federal agencies sponsor the annual gathering, which asks institutions to commit to interfaith and community service programming as part of President Barack Obama’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge. He and his wife, Penny, returned to Washington in late October for a reception at the Library of Congress, which celebrated U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan’s inauguration as speaker of the House of Representatives. The Woodwards were invited guests of Rep. Ryan, whose congressional district covers much of southeastern Wisconsin including the Carthage campus.

Faculty/Staff Notes Diane Levesque, assistant professor of art and director of the H. F. Johnson Gallery of Art, was selected as a fellow with the Racine (Wisconsin) Art Museum. Prof. Levesque’s artwork will be on display at the gallery through November.

Kirk MacGregor, adjunct professor of religion, wrote a new book titled “Luis de Molina: The Life and Theology of the Founder of Middle Knowledge.” The book outlines the main contours of de Molina’s subtle and far-reaching philosophical theology.

Joy Nystrom Mast, professor of geography and earth science, presented her National Science Foundation-funded research on crown fires and insect epidemics at the World Congress of the International Association of Landscape Ecologists in July.

The big question ... in search of answers My oldest daughter was away at camp for environmental education, so it was just the three of us at home on a Thursday evening. We were starting the process of cleaning up from an evening of homework, a few games, and some coloring when my youngest daughter, who is in third grade, asked a big question in the form of a statement. “What I don’t get is why it is called a fourhead,” she said. We laughed out loud and then had a discussion (which I’m sure she thought was too long) about four, fore and for. What I love is that she is on the journey of trying to understand the world we live in. She is making statements and asking questions as a part of the journey. She is her way to deeper understandings, which most likely will lead to more questions. For 10 days in October, the Center for Faith and Spirituality, Diversity Center, Religion Department, and A. W. Clausen Center for World Business sponsored a photo exhibition called “A Peace of My Mind.” More than 50 panels were spread throughout campus, with pictures and statements from a wide variety of people explaining what peace means to them. The people were diverse in age, race, religion, political views, occupation, sexual orientation, economic status, and life experience. The opening next of the exhibition, the curator of the show, John Noltner, joined us for what we hope will be the first of many dinners where we gather around to ask big questions about important words. The focus of this dinner was peace. What does peace mean to you? Where have you seen peace at work? How can you be a part of bringing peace into the world, your home, your workplace? What do your faith and your beliefs say about peace? How do you find inner peace? So many questions, and not enough time at one meal to answer all of them. Yet it was enough time to start the ball rolling for us to learn, at Carthage, how to have civil conversation about important issues. It was time

for us to practice asking the big questions and listening to others who may think differently on this topic, as we all search for answers. With so many big questions out there, sometimes it can feel overwhelming to think about them all. What does it mean to be human? What is love? Is there a God? Where is God in the pain of the world? Can I be a scientist and believe in God? Why all this violence? What is the value of work? What does success look like? Who am I? What are my gifts? What is my calling? These are just a few of the questions that are important in my work as the campus pastor at Carthage. This is just the tip of the iceberg. And, in each discipline of study and administrative office, there are more big questions than I can comprehend being asked every day. Humanity has been asking the same questions for thousands of years, and it can be frustrating that it still doesn’t seem that we have found the answers or the willpower to live the answers we have found. Yet we must continue to ask these big questions and search for answers today so we are not pulled apart. We must continue on this journey together. So, what big questions do you need to discuss with your family or friends? What type of dinner dialogues are you willing to have? Maybe you can start with simpler questions — for example, “Why is it called a fourhead?” — as a way to build some trust before diving into the deeper and more challenging questions of meaning and purpose. Ask. Talk. Listen. Learn. You may find you grow in faith, love, understanding and more. And you will definitely have more big questions to ask. Peace and love,

A glimpse of what’s happening in the Carthage community

Mine clearers on road to Mars Mars fever returned in force this fall. Traces of water were observed on the planet’s surface, Matt Damon rocketed to the top of the box office list in “The Martian,” and NASA outlined its plan to send U.S. manned missions there in 2030 or beyond — all in a two-week span. Plenty of obstacles remain, however, and Carthage is helping NASA to address one of them. After 32 zero-gravity flights, eight student teams, and five separate experiments for NASA’s education programs, Carthage is developing a technology that has transcended education and advanced straight to NASA headquarters. In June, the latest iteration of the Carthage Microgravity Team boarded NASA’s zero-g aircraft at Johnson Space Center in Houston to continue the College’s development of a promising new fuel gauging technology known as Modal Propellant Gauging, or MPG. The technology may change how

F15_CARTH_08-15.indd 8

propellant volume is measured in space. To this point, it has been impossible to precisely measure propellant in a zero-gravity environment. Spacecraft must tow extra fuel — which, at $10,000 per kilogram, can cost millions, said Carthage physics professor Kevin Crosby, dean of the Division of Natural and Social Sciences and principal investigator for the project. “MPG uses a range of vibrations to induce a resonant response in a spacecraft’s propellant tank,” Prof. Crosby explained. “Our software then detects the small changes to the resonant behavior as propellant is drained from the tank.” Using the tank’s vibrations, it can measure down to the tablespoon how much propellant is left before a spacecraft is running on empty. “What’s surprising is the accuracy of our approach; we believe it may surpass the accuracy of traditional methods of fuel gauging,” Prof. Crosby

said. “The solution we’re proposing could save millions over the life cycle of a single commercial satellite.”

thumbs-up from nasa NASA’s on board. Its Flight Opportunities Program, which funds a handful of parabolic flights for cutting-edge technologies every year, selected the Carthage technology as one of seven for further development. For the June flight, the Carthage team joined researchers from Stanford University, the U.S. Department of Defense, Northwestern University, the University of Florida, and NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. “This technology is very exciting to the folks at NASA,” said Steve Ord, technology manager for the Flight Opportunities Program. “NASA has a lot of interest in propellant management, because, if you can’t gauge the amount of propellant in the tank,

you have to carry extra for your mission. Obviously that’s a performance degradation, because you can’t take as much mass with you. “… You could get a 1 to 2 percent increase with better fuel gauging, and that’s substantial,” Mr. Ord continued. “When you’re going to Mars, 1 percent is huge.”

a critical advancement June’s flight was an important step forward for the technology that Prof. Crosby has been investigating for the past four years. Most Carthaginians are familiar with the College’s success in NASA’s Systems Engineering Educational Discovery (SEED) program. The microgravity team was selected for the entire six-year run of that prestigious program, which Prof. Crosby said was designed “partly to inspire students and get them invested in the spirit of space exploration.” The team eventually turned its attention to an idea proposed by Kennedy Space Center engineer Rudy Werlink: Could propellant levels in

microgravity be estimated by the effects they have on a tank’s acoustic properties? After SEED, the experiment was picked for another NASA initiative in 2014. The Flight Opportunities Program then continued funding for MPG through 2017, including an upcoming flight campaign out of Kennedy Space Center. “The solution we developed back in 2011 worked really well, and we’ve been refining its design ever since,” Prof. Crosby says. The Carthage students who originated the project have gone on to esteemed graduate programs in astrophysics, engineering, and mechanical engineering. But others have stepped up to take their place. The 2015 team includes Kevin LeCaptain ’16, Tessa Rundle ’16, and Benjamin Tillema ’18. “The cool thing is that NASA is interested in the technology that Carthage has developed,” said Tessa, a physics major from Dodgeville, Wisconsin, and this year’s team leader. “… Being in zero gravity was amazing and fun, but I thought the entire process of working on the experiment, getting the

data, and doing the data analysis was such a great opportunity. And knowing that I’m working on a technology that may actually be used in space in the future is just really cool to me.”

what’s next? In its next stage of development, Prof. Crosby and his student team will translate MPG to cryogenic propellants, the extremely cold liquids that are used in spacecraft. MPG also was selected for inclusion in a joint research venture between Kennedy Space Center’s Cryogenics Laboratory and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. The project is slated to fly on Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo. Says Mr. Ord: “I’d like to see it go eventually into infusion, to where it’s being used on a vehicle somewhere, whether it be a vehicle that’s going off on an interplanetary adventure, to the moon, or into low-earth orbit. That’s our goal — not just to have this experience, but to move beyond and use it in flight.”

HOW THE ‘VOMIT COMET’ WORKS NASA’s C-9 flies a series of carefully executed parabolic trajectories over the Gulf of Mexico. The plane climbs to 34,000 feet, then free-falls 10,000 feet before climbing again. During each parabola, passengers experience about 25 seconds of zero gravity; everything on the plane becomes weightless. A research flight typically consists of 40 or more parabolas, and a flight campaign can span a week of such flights. NASA has been using parabolic flights since the 1950s to test hardware and train astronauts for the rigors of spaceflight. The short bursts of microgravity are often long enough to observe

carthage.edu

F15_CARTH_08-15.indd 9

important effects on instruments and people, some of which never could be predicted on the ground. It’s also a heck of a roller coaster ride. Even with the recommended dose of the anti-nausea drug scopolamine doled out by NASA flight surgeons, researchers can find themselves contributing to the Vomit Comet’s legacy. Thankfully, most Carthage students have strong stomachs and heed NASA’s official rules for avoiding motion sickness: Stay still during the plane’s 2-g pull-ups. Don’t turn your head too much. Don’t look out the window. That way, researchers can concentrate on the

research, even as they revel in their temporary vacation from gravity. “It’s really incredible,” said team member Kevin LeCaptain ’16, a physics major from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. “Without gravity holding you down, you move very easily. The difficulty is figuring out how to move about in zero g. You just float, and everything you touch doesn’t do what you expect it to do.” “It’s a feeling that very few people get to experience, so I feel very privileged and proud that I got to do this,” added Benjamin Tillema ’18, a physics major from Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Some nights just rock Nate Ruess, lead vocalist for the Grammy Awardwinning band Fun. and acclaimed indie band The Format, performed in the Tarble Arena on Oct. 16 as part of the Campus Consciousness Tour. Some of the songs came from his debut solo album, “Grand Romantic,” which was released in June. Saint Motel opened the show, one stop on a tour that promotes clean energy usage and environmental protection.

Synthetic biology offers natural potential Over the summer, professors Deborah Tobiason and Mark Mahoney led the first synthetic biology research boot camp at Carthage, supported by a $38,000 grant from the National Science Foundation. In the rapidly growing field of synthetic biology, researchers construct new living parts or redesign existing ones to target health and environmental problems. Its multidisciplinary approach has spawned diagnostic tests for HIV and bacteria that devour oil from tanker spills, with potential for lots of other uses.

“It’s a very new field with a lot of possibilities,” said Jacob Haag ’17, a neuroscience major from Lodi, Wisconsin. Jacob was one of five Carthage students who participated in the month long crash course in June. The rest came from Ripon (Wisconsin) College, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and Boston College. Professor Jennifer Roecklein-Canfield of Simmons College led an identical boot camp at her campus in Boston in a virtual collaboration with the Carthage team. She and Prof. Tobiason attended a major synthetic biology workshop in 2013. At Carthage, the student researchers worked towards building a biosensor in the form of a bacterium sensitive enough to detect low levels of toluene — and to glow when the potentially toxic chemical is present. Studies suggest long-term exposure to toluene, which is also found in paint, adhesives, and nail polish, can cause a variety of health problems. Students received cross-training, and several got their first taste of research. They learned both the lab techniques and the computer programming skills needed to design and build the biosensor. “When you learn both, the possibilities really open up,” Prof. Tobiason said. “You’re much more marketable.” Stefanie Huttelmaier ’18 represented the group at a research symposium in Arlington, Virginia, in late October. The boot camp will flow into a future Carthage research course on synthetic biology. The professors’ ultimate goal is to form a team that would compete in the annual iGEM competition in Boston. At the international event, teams are assigned kits with genetic pieces called “Biobricks.” Students assemble them in different configurations, much like Legos, and test the resulting biological “machines” in living cells.

For visitors, First-Year Read is personal

Before “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” became a best-selling book, the subject’s posthumous contributions to science — and the unethical procedures researchers used to extract and distribute her cells — were unknown to most. Even her grandchildren were in the dark. Two of them, Jeri Lacks Whye and David Lacks Jr., gave a presentation in the A. F. Siebert Chapel on Sept. 30, continuing a yearlong dialogue

based on Carthage’s First-Year Read. Afterward, they answered questions that came up in book discussions during New Student Orientation. The book by Rebecca Skloot introduces readers to the late Ms. Lacks, a poor black tobacco farmer whose cells — taken without her knowledge in 1951 — became one of the most important tools in medicine, vital for developing the polio vaccine, gene mapping, and more. Her “HeLa” cells have been bought and sold by the billions and remain virtually unchanged, yet her family can’t afford health insurance. Using a slideshow, the two visitors highlighted the worldwide response to Ms. Lacks’ story. Had she been asked, they agreed their

grandmother would have consented. “If she knew her cells would help the world, especially children, she would have given them,” Mr. Lacks said. Still, they advised future scientists in the audience to keep in mind the “human” in human research projects. In exchange for giving permission to publish the HeLa genome, Mr. Lacks and another family member serve on the National Institutes of Health panel that reviews applications to conduct research with the cells. Ms. Lacks Whye is a consultant on a highly anticipated HBO movie adaptation. Oprah Winfrey and Allan Ball, creator of “True Blood” and “Six Feet Under,” are producing the film. During their stay on campus, they also met with Carthage staff and students and signed copies of the book.

A stronger Esmeralda Perez ready to leave cancer in her wake Two years ago, Lady Reds swimmer Esmeralda Perez ’17 arrived as a freshman still dealing with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. “I wasn’t actually in remission when I came to Carthage,” she said. “That was strange, starting college off and not knowing if I was cancer-free or not.” Swimmers in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin, take heed: the end of October marked the two-year anniversary of her cancer going into remission. As the 2015-16 season begins, “Ez Perez,” as teammates and coaches know her, is gaining strength and speed. “This season, I feel even stronger than I was even before cancer,” Esmeralda said. “I’ve been swimming competitively since I was 12. I got to the top of the group in my club team. I got to the level where you would swim seven days a week. “I feel so much stronger than I ever was.” She received the diagnosis during her junior year in high school. Being in the water offered a respite, as did racing with South West Aquatic Team (SWAT), her club team since she started swimming. Esmeralda swam through chemotherapy. She swam with a port in her chest. Being in warm, chlorine-filled water accelerated her hair loss during treatment, as did donning and removing her rubber swim cap.

“I signed up for swim meets specifically to show everyone I could do it,” Esmeralda said. “I would touch the wall when I finished, and everyone would stand and applaud. I was pretty slow, but I did it, and everyone was proud of me.” In high school, Esmeralda went on some recruiting visits to NCAA Division I schools. The process always ended when she flew to meet the coaches and they realized she had cancer. “I went on one of those trips, and I was bald,” she said. The disease defines her swimming career. Esmeralda will be going to the hospital on a regimented schedule until she’s at least 25. Her life-threatening odyssey demands that she stay close to home. “They don’t like you to switch doctors, because they already know how your body reacts to certain treatments,” she said. Carthage, just 40 minutes south of her home in Greenfield, Wisconsin, matched that need. Plus, it offered a strong swimming program. “Everything will fall into place eventually, and that’s how I like to explain how I even chose Carthage as a school,” Esmeralda said. “I never thought that would have happened until I had cancer, and it ended up being the perfect school for me.” Carthage swim coach Beth DeLaRosby said Esmeralda wanted to be good and possessed the necessary drive. Swimming is one of the more competitive endeavors in athletics; participants are racing against opponents and striving for personal

bests under the merciless tick of the clock. “In conversations before she came to Carthage, she knew she wanted to swim,” Coach DeLaRosby said. “In her passion in talking about the sport and wanting to get better, I got the feeling she was going to be competitive.” Esmeralda finished sixth in the 100-yard butterfly, eighth in the 200 butterfly, and 10th in the 50 freestyle at the CCIW championship in February. In 2014, as a freshman, she had three top-15 finishes at the conference meet and was named CCIW Swimmer of the Week in mid-January. “In the next year or two, she’s going to be a big contributor to our conference team, our relays,” DeLaRosby said. Swimming at the Division III level affords Esmeralda the opportunity to swim solely for love of the activity and the satisfaction of competition. “You’re not swimming just to keep a scholarship,” she said. “You’re swimming because you want to swim and you enjoy your other teammates. That’s why I like it.” With a major in psychology and minor in biology, she intends to go into genetic counseling. Esmeralda wants to serve as an intermediary between cancer patients and the medical system and work to help people assess their risk for cancer. It’s a career she might never have considered if not for her trials. More evidence to support her life’s motto. “Everything falls into place,” Esmeralda said. “Even when things look like they’re not going as you planned, it all works out.”

“This season, I feel even stronger than I was before cancer.”

Hall of Fame welcomes elite eight The Carthage Athletic Hall of Fame grew by eight this fall. A new class of former student-athletes, coaches, and staff members was inducted Oct. 16, during Autumn Family Weekend. The 2015 inductees include: Tim Rucks ’83 Football The late Tim Rucks, a native of Waukegan, Illinois, was head football coach from 1995 to 2012 and assistant athletic director from 2012 to 2015. Inducted into the Wisconsin Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2014, Coach Rucks’ 95 wins are second on Carthage’s all-time list. He won regional and CCIW coach of the year awards in 2004 with a conference-winning team that reached the NCAA Division III quarterfinals. As a player, he was named first-team All-CCIW in 1982 at offensive tackle and was selected in the United States Football League draft before signing with the NFL’s New York Jets.

Gavin Winfield ’98 Baseball Outfielder/pitcher Gavin Winfield of Ripon, Wisconsin, was named American Baseball Coaches Association first-team All-America in 1996, secondteam All-CCIW in 1995 and first-team all-conference in both 1996 and 1997. Mr. Winfield is ranked fifth in Carthage career home runs, 11th in RBI, and 12th in base hits. He threw a no-hitter against Muskingum College in 1996 and set a Carthage record with 17 strikeouts against North Park University in 1997.

Exporting lacrosse, importing empathy With a heart for photography, lacrosse, and public relations, Cody Tucker ’16 used her independent study to participate in a cause bigger than herself. During the summer, she set off to Jamaica as an intern with Fields of Growth International (FOG), a nonprofit organization that aims to give kids a positive activity and grow the sport of lacrosse in developing countries. Kevin Dugan, a former lacrosse player and coach, founded FOG in 2009 and runs camps in Uganda and Jamaica. Hundreds of American lacrosse players have traveled to Kingston, Jamaica, to help grow the game, coach the players, and do service work. This past summer, Cody was one of three interns he recruited to help run the camps. Besides helping with setup and check-in and assisting American volunteers, she coached the girls’ lacrosse team. Cody worked one-on-one with new players. A midfielder for the Lady Reds, she drew from three years of college playing experience. “There is really no short way to explain how much [the experience] has touched me,” she said. The locals play in 90-degree direct sunlight, barely eat before they go to practice, and often don’t have their own shoes to play in. However,

they practice daily for a longer time than practice runs — and love it. Downtown Kingston is vastly different from the pristine tourist beaches of Montego Bay. But Cody said she’s never felt more at home. “I was actually more shell-shocked flying back through Chicago and seeing the hustle and bustle and lack of empathy or human connection than I was landing in Kingston,” she said. This summer, FOG ran one of its most promising camps yet. The organization gained interest from ESPN analyst Paul Carcaterra, who donated resources and coached both the youth and high school camps. With the help of her academic advisor, Professor Laura Huaracha, she turned the internship into an independent study course combining her public relations major and self-designed photography minor. “Basically I helped everywhere I could and was needed, but my camera was always around my neck,” she said. Cody said her photos helped in a bunch of ways. “In one sense, they gave us a lot more

recognition,” she said, explaining that Cascade Lacrosse, which makes helmets Above: Cody Tucker ’16 is shown at left. for the sport, posted her images to its Instagram account. “And they have 80,000 followers. That’s a lot of exposure.” By taking photos of the playing field, games, interaction, and fun events, she also could “demystify the experiences” for interested volunteers. And the Jamaican players were motivated to keep practicing. “They loved getting their pictures taken, but then seeing them online made them feel important and recognized,” Cody said. After graduation, Cody hopes to get a public relations job that allows her to travel and use her photography skills like she did last summer. She still talks to several of the players weekly. “I know I was able to bring donations and help coach, but those kids gave me so much more,” she said. “I’ve never felt like I had so much of a place or a purpose before in my life. It’s definitely a lesson I try to carry with me in everything I do.”

Meyer medals at CCIW championship

Doubles team captures conference title

Kayla Meyer ’16 of Appleton, Wisconsin, took medalist honors at the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin women’s golf championship Oct. 1-3 in Decatur, Illinois. She shot rounds of 73-75-82, and her three-day total of 230 tied a Carthage record. Kayla is Carthage’s second conference medalist in a row, after McKenzie Parks ’16 won in 2014. Kayla also tied for the low score in the weather-shortened 2013 conference tourney, but another golfer won the “scorecard playoff.” After the fall portion of the 2015-16 season, her 78.4 scoring average leads the Lady Reds.

Taylor Bolyard ‘18 of Kenosha and Casey Frommer ‘19 of Highland Park, Illinois, won the No. 2 doubles competition at the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin championship Oct. 22-24 in Hanover Park, Illinois. Seeded second, Taylor and Casey defeated top-seeded Augustana College partners Lauren Goggin and Mollie Magee 8-4 in the title match. They lost just six games during the tournament. Winners of its last eight matches, the young Carthage duo finished the fall portion of the 2015-16 season 11-2.

rustee John R. Sladek Jr. invoked that quote during Homecoming weekend, shortly before snipping the ribbon to officially open Carthage’s most ambitious building project ever. The sentiment fit. There’s nothing little about the goals the College has laid out. “We’re going to be a national model,” President Gregory S.

scholarships, encourage experiential learning via internships and study abroad, and provide the flexibility to meet rapidly evolving needs through the Carthage Fund. Campaign chair Jeff Hamar ’80, president and CEO of Galleher Inc. in Santa Fe Springs, California, is confident that Carthage’s trajectory can place it among the premier liberal arts institutions in the Midwest — and perhaps the United States. “It makes no difference whether your first steps on the campus happened 60 years ago in Illinois or six weeks ago when you arrived as a freshman. Carthage is not the same,” he said. “It is more complete, it is stronger, and

Deputized to reduce Wisconsin customers’ energy usage with financial incentives, the agency Focus on Energy found little need to intervene in the new Carthage Science Center construction project. “We’re doing the right thing already,” said William Hoare, Carthage’s associate vice president for business The building incorporates energy-saving options like window glazing, “daylighting” sensors that adjust office and classroom lights based on the amount of sunlight, gray-tinted windows, automatic shades, and high-energy heating and air conditioning. A rooftop energy recovery unit even captures and reuses heat from exhaust air. Carthage did spend an extra $150,000 based on Focus on Energy recommendations. The agency calculates it’ll take two years for the energy savings to pay off that additional expense, and it gave a head start by sending a $51,000 rebate check. For the most part, the College needs no dangling carrot to go green. Mr. Hoare said its building standards are more sustainable than the norm. “It only makes sense for Carthage to take that long-term view,” he said. Unlike most homeowners, the College plans to own the building forever and can afford to wait for the payoff. Timing helped, too. While Stantec principal architect Ray Maggi said initial plans called for fluorescent lighting, LED became the clear choice when the price quote — like its power usage — came in lower. This was the first project where he has seen that happen.

BEYOND DRIVE-THRU LEARNING Experienced in higher ed construction, architectural firm Stantec typically lets its science team oversee science buildings and its student life team oversee student life buildings. Not this time. At Carthage’s urging, the Philadelphia-based unit that designed the Campbell Student Union took the lead on the Science Center, while the Clevelandbased science and technology building group worked in a supporting role. That arrangement was a first for Stantec. The idea, according to project designer and principal architect Ray Maggi, was to make common areas a priority in the Science Center and encourage students to stick around between and after classes. The new center and the union serve as “creative bookends” at both ends of campus, he explained. So far, faculty say it’s working exactly as everyone had hoped. “We sacrificed some square footage to have a daily presence of students,” said Professor Kevin Crosby, dean of the Division of Natural and Social Sciences. “It’s been huge.” Despite the occasional clash, Mr. Maggi said the two teams’ distinct perspectives yielded positive results. The linear-thinking lab planners spotted ways to boost operational efficiency, and the student life crew took the “scenic route” by identifying spaces that Carthage could customize based on future needs. With many institutions starting satellite campuses, Mr. Maggi predicts that approach will come closer to the norm.

F15_CARTH_22-31.indd 24

the College is doing better things in the lives of students than ever before.” Mr. Hamar, first vice chairman of the Board of Trustees, called the four Campaign for Carthage priorities integral to “a durable, forward-looking foundation.” He urged fellow alumni to contribute. “For generations, Carthaginians have approached forks in the road. One path, although it may be difficult, leads to greater prestige — the other, to setback and mediocrity,” he said. “… But it requires wisdom and resources to choose correctly and then work and sacrifice to complete the trek.” Students Christian Aldridge ’16 and Tessa Rundle ’16 thanked donors for the generosity that propelled them into theatrical performance and research with NASA, respectively. David A. Straz Jr., chairman of the Carthage Board of Trustees, issued a strong endorsement of President Woodward’s vision and leadership. “We are a community based on the values of academic distinction, personal attention, and service to the world,” Mr. Straz said. “These values have endured since our founding, and I have every confidence they will guide us to the successful completion of the Campaign

for Carthage.” As of mid-October, alumni, parents, and friends already had contributed $25.2 million toward the goal. The silent phase of the campaign began in January 2013. The morning after the kickoff dinner, students led guided tours of the $43 million Science Center. That gave many alumni and other supporters a firsthand look at the biggest, most tangible result of the campaign so far. A $10 million contribution from the Tarble Family Foundation of Los Angeles supported the creation of a new 35,000-square-foot wing. The project also included a major renovation of the 70,000-square-foot David A. Straz, Jr. Center for the Natural and Social Sciences. “Thank you to everyone who had a vision for a 21st century center that is both beautiful and functional,” Evelyn Buchanan, vice president for institutional advancement, told about 110 visitors at the ribbon-cutting event. The Office of Institutional Advancement will host regional events next spring to continue the public phase of the Campaign for Carthage. Dates and locations will be announced in the coming months.

THE CAMPAIGN FOR CARTHAGE: PRIORITIES

the science center

the carthage fund

The new Science Center advances Carthage’s commitment to innovative science education and close research collaboration between faculty and students.

The Carthage Fund supports critical areas of campus, including financial aid, athletics, and student research.

Graduates in the natural sciences doubled in the past decade, along with the percentage of incoming students who intend to major in those areas. In disciplines from biology to computer science, faculty have brought preeminent educational and research programs to campus. That excellence demands a facility to match. Reflecting the success of the campaign’s silent phase, the Science Center opened for classes in September. Naming opportunities still exist throughout the facility.

These operating dollars are immediately available, which arms the College with the flexibility to respond to challenges and opportunities as soon as they arise. Leaders stressed that growing the fund is necessary to assist the more than 90 percent of Carthage students who rely on some form of financial aid. Competitors, financial markets, and influential college ranking publications also monitor the annual fund as a barometer of any college’s health.

endowed scholarships

internships and experiential learning

Already offering nearly 190 endowed scholarships, Carthage seeks more benefactors to help attract and retain highcaliber students from all walks of life.

Citing professional, cultural, and personal benefits, Carthage aims to make these forms of experiential learning accessible to a much broader segment of students.

These investments are professionally invested, ensuring that each donor’s values and legacy is permanently intertwined with the College’s success. Many choose to honor their family members, friends, or professors.

• Internships: Students with internship experience enter the job market with a leg up, and many employers offer only unpaid or low-paying positions.

This is the first step in a long-term plan to boost the Carthage endowment. Ultimately, campaign chair Jeff Hamar ’80 estimates the pool must grow five to 10 times larger to match the College’s aspirations.

• Study Abroad: Programs link academics to cultural reality and foster independence. Last year, 234 students took a J-Term study tour. • Research: The Summer Undergraduate Research Experience pairs students with faculty sponsors to pursue original research, scholarship, or creative

anatomy and physiology lab

nuclear magnetic resonance laboratory If you’ve ever had an MRI for a sprained ankle, you have a rough idea of what an NMR spectrometer does. As “the chemist’s version of an MRI,” Professor Kevin Morris said it’s a critical part of the analytical toolkit. Using nuclear magnetic resonance, researchers can determine whether they’ve really made the molecules they meant to produce. Prof. Morris said knowing these techniques especially helps in medical school or the pharmaceutical industry. Resembling a large model spaceship, this researchgrade instrument has a stronger magnet and better resolution than the College’s old one. Using the software, students can program it to test and analyze samples more quickly and efficiently.

A half-dozen different biology courses will use the Anatomy and Physiology Lab. Thanks to an enhanced ventilation system, students don’t need to plug their noses. “The bottom line is you walk into the lab and it doesn’t smell like a dissection lab,” Professor Paul Martino said. The upgrades help to preserve specimens, as well as to remove noxious odors and formaldehyde. The stainless steel surfaces mimic a morgue or a medical school lab, and the lab’s placement enables future collaboration with neuroscience and nursing classes.

Beginning this fall, all 120 freshmen with majors in biology or neuroscience and those preparing for health careers are taking the introductory course. Through a donation, Carthage also received an ultramicrotome, which prepares tissue thin enough for the microscopes’ electron beams to penetrate. That allows students to examine many different kinds of samples and peer deeper into their cells, according to Professor Pat Pfaffle.

After consulting with alumni who work in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, Chemistry Department chair Christine Blaine has filled this room with new and more sensitive instruments. The lab features three kinds of chromatography equipment, a gas chromatography-mass spectrometer, and a microwave plasma-atomic emission spectrometer. With these, chemistry students can analyze samples like vitamin C in orange juice or metal ions in food. It’ll be a hub for student-faculty research projects, too, measuring environmental pollutants and more.

planetarium It’s easy to spot the planetarium from outside — the dome gives it away. Inside, its highdefinition, dual-projection system dwarfs the typical home theater setup. The dome stretches 24 feet in diameter, and the planetarium seats up to 32. It’ll be used primarily for classes in astronomy and geography, and periodic open houses for the public have begun. Demonstrations now feature sharper images and video (1920-by1920 pixel resolution) and a theater-quality sound system. “I think of the new planetarium as a highresolution, immersive science visualization theater, because it’s not strictly about astronomy,” Professor Julie Dahlstrom said.

greenhouse By next spring, the new greenhouse will look much greener. It’s designed to house a collection of tropical, desert, and temperate climate specimens. Initially, the main users of the roughly 700-square-foot facility will be faculty and students in biology, environmental science, and geography and earth science. It will serve as a teaching laboratory and a research center. Deterioration over the years had rendered the old greenhouse unusable. This one allows for growing spaces with separate environmental conditions. A potting room covers another 375 square feet or so.

The power of the solar array on the roof of the Science Center and the helical wind turbine along Lake Michigan shouldn’t be measured in kilowatt-hours. They’ll connect with the Energy Dashboard, a flat-panel monitor on the second floor of the building. It will display real-time energy statistics from the solar and wind equipment, teeing up a teaching moment anytime.

Gatekeeper of the night sky Facing astronomical odds of landing her dream job didn’t deter Erin Martin ’09. In her field, aiming for the stars is the daily routine.

F15_CARTH_22-31.indd 28

She operates one of the world’s largest telescopes at MMT Observatory, outside Tucson, Arizona. The apple fell pretty far from the family tree. The daughter of a businessman and a teacher, she graduated from Carthage in 2009 with a degree in physics and a concentration in astrophysics. “No one in my family is scientific at all,” she said. “Now they’re jealous.”

Considering the one-lane dirt road she takes to work on Mt. Hopkins, about an hour north of the Mexican border, not many choose to follow Ms. Martin’s tracks either. Except cows. “Sometimes when I’m driving up the mountain, I have to stop for cattle,” Ms. Martin said. The workday begins at 4 p.m. She uses the remaining daylight to check the telescope’s Erin Martin ’09 describes her work at MMT Observatory to a group of Carthage students who visited the Tucson, Arizona, facility in March.

systems and correct any malfunctions. When the night sky comes alive, her attention shifts to whichever celestial wonder the visiting astronomer wants to study. That might be a supernova, a quasar, or a white dwarf. In Ms. Martin’s world, sunrise means bedtime. “I’ve always been kind of a night person anyway, so I adapted pretty easily,” she said. Here’s how deeply astronomy has hooked her. In June, Ms. Martin and Brian Swane ’09 got married at Yerkes Observatory in Williams Bay, Wisconsin. Take the time machine back a decade and you’d find the roots of Ms. Martin’s fascination: an astronomy course during her first semester at Carthage. With his contagious excitement for the subject, the guy known as “Q” — Professor Jean Quashnock — brushed aside her aversion to math. She joined the fledgling Microgravity Team, eventually becoming captain and flying an experiment in zero gravity with a NASA engineer. Ms. Martin credits much of her success to the personal attention from faculty like Professor Kevin Crosby, the team advisor and now director of the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium. “The respect I have for that man is limitless,” she said. Ultimately, studying space won out over soaring through it. Ms. Martin spent her first J-Term building a telescope, learning to respect the mirror above all. Twice in college, she traveled to MMT for study tours, plus five observation “runs” to other astronomy hubs. “It’s one of those experiences rare to Carthage,” she said. As she exited the observatory one last time, Professor Doug Arion prodded the senior to duck back inside and ask if any openings existed. Three years later — less time than it takes for light from the nearest star beyond the Sun to reach our Earthling eyes — she got the job.

carthage.edu

F15_CARTH_22-31.indd 29

Before MMT brought her aboard in 2012, Ms. Martin put on night sky shows as a part-timer at Adler Planetarium in Chicago. Her determination impressed faculty mentors. “Yes, she had good mentoring, but, once the fire was lit, Erin tenaciously stuck to her dreams of working in astronomy,” Prof. Quashnock said. As a senior telescope operations specialist, she works in a rotation: one week on, followed by two weeks off — with even bigger blocks of free time during the rainy summer months. For the on-duty weeks, Ms. Martin stays in dormitories. Her stress level rises on those Monday nights, as Ms. Martin checks off her packing list for the remote site. Located about 8,500 feet above sea level, the observatory is run jointly by the University of Arizona and The Smithsonian Institute. “It’s not like I can buy something at the store if I forget it,” she joked.

With a 6.5-meter primary mirror, MMT has the 14th-largest telescope on the planet. Visitors can’t stroll in and adjust it like one that sits on a tripod in the backyard. It took Ms. Martin six months to become comfortable with it — and hers was a relatively short learning curve. On the way to Kitt Peak National Observatory, also in the Tucson area, Prof. Arion swung by MMT last spring with four physics and astronomy students. Now the wise mentor, Ms. Martin chatted with the group for a few hours. This alumna still misses the camaraderie in the grungy, windowless old Carthage “physics clubhouse.” Insisting she’s not jealous of the students’ new digs in the Science Center, Ms. Martin is keeping her front-row view of the galaxy.

Pay it forward Making it easier to profit in the market

Protecting vital organs after donation

Matija Maretic ’99 is the chief technical officer at Marvelsoft, Algorithmic Trading, based in Switzerland. Marvelsoft specializes in tailor-made algorithmic trading solutions and develops electronic trading software. That allows computers to place trades and generate profits at a speed that’s impossible for a human trader. Mr. Maretic has worked there since 2004 and in the industry since 2000. He majored in physics at Carthage, with minors in mathematics and entrepreneurial studies.

Chris Hill ’95 is the director of quality at Organ Recovery Systems in Itasca, Illinois. It manufactures LifePort kidney and liver transporters and other disposable equipment needed to preserve organs between donation and transplant. The transporters use a process called hypothermic machine perfusion to improve organ preservation even after a transplant. Cold nutrient solutions are pumped through organs to emulate natural circulation.w “I’ve met some of the ‘customers’ who are alive today because of the transplants, and their stories make my job more meaningful and satisfying,” Mr. Hill said.

Emily Wright ’08 is an analyst for real estate strategy at Panera Bread’s corporate headquarters in St. Louis. A geography major at Carthage, she uses GIS mapping to inform decisions in just about every freshly baked facet of the company. Roughly onethird of her job involves forecasting sales and risks for potential new store locations based on an area’s demographics, available parking, and visibility. Otherwise, you might find her spotting growth opportunities for the catering team. Or designing efficient routes for drivers in cities where Panera now offers delivery service. Ms. Wright came to the company in 2011, thanks to a little networking triangle with Professor Julio Rivera and Panera executive Doug Schnell ’97.

Professor John R. Sladek Jr. ’65 wears his life’s work on his email address and license plate. “Neuroscience” is incorporated into both. An Oct. 22 retirement symposium celebrated his lengthy career in research, teaching, and university administration — much of it in the University of Colorado system. Prof. Sladek is known for his neuron transplantation work in primates, which paved the way for clinical experiments on people with Parkinson’s disease. Progress bogged down in the political minefield of fetal and embryonic stem cells, which scientists needed to perform the transplants. But his team’s most recent discovery involves a process called neurogenesis, by which primates’ damaged brains might be able to repair themselves. A longtime Carthage trustee, Prof. Sladek has maintained a federally funded laboratory since 1974.

The generations of students who learn, question, and experiment in the new Science Center will build on an already strong tradition. Here’s how a handful of Carthage natural science alumni are shaping their world.

Defensive driving for computers

Spreading a contagious passion for physics

Removing human error doesn’t guarantee the end of highway collisions. With that in mind, someday you’ll thank Nathan Fulton ’13. A Ph.D. student affiliated with the Logical Systems Lab at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, he builds mathematical models for self-driving cars and planes to keep them from crashing. At Carthage, Mr. Fulton majored in computer science and mathematics. Subtle interactions between computation and physics often arise in settings where safety is critical, and his models one day could be incorporated into the software of those automated vehicles.

Three years as a member of the Society of Physics Students clearly hooked Kendra (Rand) Redmond ’03. Today she’s the programs manager at the organization’s national headquarters in College Park, Maryland. Since 2007 she has worked for SPS, which connects roughly 700 campus chapters with one another and with professional physics groups. Plus, it provides funding for travel, outreach, research, scholarships, and internships in the Washington area. A tutor at the Brainard Writing Center during her time at Carthage, she gets to combine her interests in science and writing. After graduate school, she bypassed a specialty in favor of “learning a lot about different areas of physics and then communicating science to the public.”

Improving safety and efficiency for pilots

Planting the conservation seed

At aerospace and defense firm Rockwell Collins, Jennifer (Everson) Davis ’02 always has a hand in multiple R&D projects — like searching for an algorithm that would help pilots navigate around weather hazards. Inflight electronics that could generate alternate routes based on changing weather conditions would save time and fuel. By title, Ms. Davis is a software engineer. In practice, she’s an applied mathematician. “I wanted to be able to see how the work I did affected people in some way,” she said. She’s been with the company since 2007. Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Ms. Davis has also experimented with image compression algorithms and written software for encryption devices.

Though it’s widely known as a prime hangout for geese, Liz (Janke) Herzmann ’06 tells visitors that more than 300 species of birds have been sighted through the years at the Horicon Marsh. She’s a wildlife educator there. Employed by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Ms. Herzmann talks to school groups and others among the 50,000 who pass through the marsh’s visitor center each year. “They’ll be the ones protecting these resources in the future,” she said, “so we have to start young.” Ms. Herzmann likes the balance between education and fieldwork. She’s also involved in goose and duck banding, stream sampling, and controlled burns.

Men in scrubs T

he scrubs and stethoscope will come. For now, the most important tool Carthage nursing students wield is a shovel. They’re helping to bury some old, distorted stigma that discouraged men from entering the profession. Guys make up more than one-third of the first class accepted into the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program this fall. The most recent Census data show about 1 in 10 registered nurses in the United States are male. If the Carthage ratio is any indication (eight men to 15 women), an even bigger spike is coming. “With the advance of the profession, its many opportunities and challenges, and its relatively good pay and job security, I see the old stereotypes falling away quickly,” said Professor Frank D. Hicks, director of the BSN program. He likens this to society’s acceptance of women as doctors, which came a bit sooner. “With the influx of women, it became less of a ‘big deal’ that you were a female physician versus a male physician,” Prof. Hicks said. “You’re just a physician.”

F15_CARTH_32-33.indd 32

Just a few years ago, any teenage boy who considered nursing would be detoured by a barricade of myths. Like “Only guys who are ‘soft’ do that,” or “It’s just a fallback for flunking out of med school.” Time to shovel some dirt on those falsehoods. Today, even when the razzing comes, guys like Lloyd Sorrell ’19 report that it’s good-natured. After studying comparative religion his first couple of years at Carthage, the Kenosha resident added a second major in nursing. “My friends and family have been hugely supportive, viewing it at the very least as a smart choice in careers,” Lloyd said. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 1.05 million new job vacancies for RNs in the decade leading up to 2022. Prof. Hicks noted that well-educated nurses aren’t limited to hospital settings. You’ll find nurses in public health agencies, schools, factories, rehab facilities, outpatient clinics, research labs, or organizations that influence government policy. The allure runs deeper than job prospects. Most guys don’t mind tapping into their softer side anymore. “What interests me most about nursing is the amount of impact I can have on a person’s life,” said Nathaniel Michaelis ’19 of Darien, Illinois. “I am there to care for the patient as much as one of their loved ones would.”

Budding health care workers often obsess about the proper way to start an intravenous drip or give a shot.

“that’s not nursing,” Professor Frank D. Hicks said. “I can teach a monkey to do that. It’s the thinking that goes behind it.”

laying the foundation As a member of the brand-new Carthage program, Nathaniel doesn’t see himself as a guinea pig. The freshman said the chance to shape coursework for future classes attracted him. The Higher Learning Commission, Carthage’s accrediting agency, gave the College approval in July to offer the BSN. The Wisconsin Board of Nursing previously gave Carthage permission to admit students. Between freshmen and transfers, the program has 23 prospective nursing majors — near the first-year limit. For most of their first three semesters, they’ll focus on core courses. The first clinical requirements are scheduled for spring 2017. Several area health care organizations already have signed on as partners: the United Hospital System, Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare, the Kenosha County Health Department, and Hospice Alliance. Prof. Hicks expects more to come. Susan Ventura, executive vice president at UHS, participated in the interview process that led to the hire of Prof. Hicks in summer 2014 after 12 years in faculty and administrative positions at Rush University in Chicago. His vision for the Carthage program —now the only four-year option in southeastern Wisconsin — impressed her. As many nurses approach retirement age, demand will go up. Although medical providers have established relationships with local two-year programs, Ms. Ventura said more graduates are needed to fill positions in the Kenosha area.

carthage.edu

F15_CARTH_32-33.indd 33

“We know it’s going to be a great benefit, not just for the patients of United Hospital System, but for the community as a whole,” said Ms. Ventura, whose BSN opened the door to a 44-year career in nursing. The final step in the approval process comes in 2019, when Carthage’s first nursing class is scheduled to graduate. The state nursing board requires at least 80 percent of those graduates to pass the national licensing exam.

a thinking person’s profession

Growing up watching “Grey’s Anatomy,” budding health care workers often obsess about the proper way to start an intravenous drip or give a shot. “They get really focused on the skills,” Prof. Hicks said. “That’s not nursing. I can teach a monkey to do that. It’s the thinking that goes behind it.” Rather than dividing courses by age group or specialty, the Carthage nursing curriculum emphasizes broader concepts. Graduates leave equipped to practice “nursing on a street corner,” as he puts it, able to apply their knowledge in any setting. For example, more than just diagnosing the physical problem, he explained that a public health nurse must factor in a patient’s restrictions. An ethnic culture, a dangerous neighborhood, or a lack of easy access to healthy produce might affect that nurse’s treatment plan. No matter where they stand on the organizational chart, Prof. Hicks also wants

nurses to grow comfortable as leaders in health care. They might develop a plan to prevent falls or bed sores. Provost David Garcia said those priorities dovetail nicely with the College’s overall educational goals. “Carthage’s new BSN program draws upon the strength of our liberal arts roots in service of others, meeting a compelling need in the regional community,” he said. Prof. Hicks teaches his first Carthage course this coming J-Term. Along with newly hired professor Lisa Anderson-Antle, he’ll give an introduction to Contemporary Professional Nursing. Using existing campus building space, he plans to set up a simulation lab and a skills lab. Although it’ll be a while before the students reach that point of the program, the faculty plan to keep close tabs on them. “We look at them as junior colleagues and not just students, so it’s really important for faculty to develop those relationships,” Prof. Hicks said. “That’s part of the culture here at Carthage anyway.” Of course, some parts of a nurse’s skillset can’t be taught, like compassion. That’s bring-your-own. “I want to work with kids in the hospital and interact with them to make them feel better,” said Tony Allen ’19 of Minooka, Illinois. “Nursing is a very difficult major, due to the harsh experiences, but the feeling of making someone’s day or even just making them smile is completely worth it.”

Representing the Carthage family Three years ago, I stole an idea from Gary Williams ’96, a friend and colleague. On his office bulletin board, he pinned notes of encouragement and thanks. As I scanned through his letters, they stretched across years and years. When I asked Gary about his bulletin board, I remember him beaming, sharing stories of students current and long ago. Inspired, I started a bulletin board in my office. Cards, letters or stories I receive from alumni, students, or colleagues go up on the board. Their words bring back countless memories, laughter, and joy. Some of the writers are no longer living, and these notes from them are a treasure. Others are living vibrant, beautiful lives, and thinking of them makes me smile. One story I have posted on my bulletin board is an article that we shared on our Campaign for Carthage website last month. It’s one of my favorite Carthage stories of all time — about Marcelo Hernandez ’18, a mathematics major with a minor in secondary education. He received a full-tuition scholarship to Carthage that changed his life. When our communications staff interviewed him for the article, Marcelo shared, “The amount I got in scholarships is actually more than [my parents] made last year, so it makes me treat my college career as if I’m going into work every day. “A scholarship like this can literally make a world of difference to someone like me, who has nothing,” he continued. “When you receive a gift like that, you’re speechless. And then you want to make it up to people. I wasn’t given this for no reason. I want to do something with it. I’m now going to become a teacher, and I’m going to impact hundreds of other students. Their donation isn’t going to just me; it’s going everywhere. It’s spreading.”

Our Carthage community is made up of people who encourage one another, who lift one another up, and who give of themselves. How many people you know write handwritten letters? Our alumni do. How many people you know mentor a student? Our alumni do. How many people you know give students an education through financial support? Our alumni do. Our community does. When I was younger and was leaving the house, my parents used to say, “You represent our family.” It was a short, sweet sentence reminding me who I was. As Carthaginians, you represent the Carthage family. Every handwritten note of encouragement and every story like Marcelo’s represent our family. As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to take a moment to thank you. Thank you for the hundreds of encouraging notes. Thank you for spending hours driving to campus to help our students practice their networking skills. Thank you for investing in the lives of our students through the virtual mentor program. Thank you for blessing student scholarships and programs through financial support. Thank you for carrying one another’s burdens. Thank you for all of the relationships made, the friendships formed, and the bonds lasting decades. We have the most beautiful family. Happy Thanksgiving! Joyfully yours,

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

Neuroscience scholarship channels family’s loss into hope In memory of her late husband, Terry, Charlene Sonderman Salté established the Salté Scholarship for Neuroscience Excellence. Their daughter, Katherine (Salté) Nunez ’06, is a scientist at AbbVie (formerly Abbott Laboratories), where she spent the first eight years of her career in neuroscience research. Ms. Sonderman Salté describes the difficult family journey that inspired the scholarship. Katherine (Salté) Nunez ’06 and her mother, Charlene Sonderman Salté

y husband, Terry Salté, greatly valued education and set as one of his goals in life to make certain that all of his children got an excellent education without the struggles he faced. Terry was orphaned by the age of 9, when his father died; his mother died when he was an infant. He was raised in Chicago by his stepmother, who struggled daily to take care of him, keep food on the table, and keep a roof over their heads. Terry was a hard worker and, through sheer hard work and determination, graduated Amundsen High School and attended the University of Illinois, Navy Pier, on a scholarship. Graduating with a degree in finance, he went on the join Kemper Insurance in commercial lines. Eventually he became a vice president at Zurich America Insurance, specializing in large risk commercial lines. We married in 1977 and had four children: Christine, Jonathan, Katherine, and Michael. Terry also had a daughter from a previous marriage, Erica. Katherine, or “Katie,” attended Carthage from 2002 to 2006, graduating with a degree in neuroscience. Terry was obsessed with higher education, taking classes at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University and supporting his wife as she pursued her master’s degree in education. He was absolutely determined that all his children would attend and graduate from college. And his goal was to assure that they did not have to go into heavy debt to do it.

try to help, but it is hard to care for someone who is combative, incontinent, wandering, and doesn’t know who you are — or care. The financial burden breaks most families. We were told when Terry first became sick that most families caring for someone like Terry are bankrupt within two years. That should be unacceptable in this country, yet it continues to be the case, as many dementias — whether resulting from injury or chemical changes in the brain — are treated as mental rather than physical ailments by insurance and have limited benefits. Private and government funding for brain injury/dementia/Alzheimer’s care is almost nonexistent unless the family is broke or bankrupt and divests all funds, including retirement savings and pensions. Stress among caregivers is lifethreatening in itself. Yes, I — we— are passionate about the need for further brain research into helping and alleviating the suffering caused by traumatic brain injury and other forms of dementia. If this scholarship in any way can lead to research, treatment, or alleviating of the suffering caused by brain injury, then Terry’s memory becomes one of hope and healing. Furthermore, this is also a “pay it forward”. Without the generosity of the Pietrowski family, my daughter could not have attended Carthage or would have incurred substantial debt. For that gratitude, it is only right and fitting that another scholarship should be established to allow even more young people the opportunity to make a difference in the world through education.

PAGE FROM THE PAST

A slice of Carthage history from the Staubitz Archives

Forward-looking science, 19th century style With Carthage’s long history, the College has been teaching science courses since at least the 1870s. The late 19th century was an astonishing time in science. For example, Charles Darwin published six books between 1870 and his death in 1882. The Journal of the American Medical Association was published for the first time in 1883. Robert Koch, a German scientist, was the first to link a specific microorganism to a disease, with anthrax in 1875, and later did the same for cholera, which led to a way to fight the disease in 1884. By the end of the 19th century, electricity was becoming more and more common and the doors to many modern technology and scientific fields were being opened. Carthage, despite its rural Illinois location, had plenty of exposure to these changes. In the 1878 Bulletin, the two majors listed were “The Classical Course” and the “Scientific Course”. All students were required to take some basic sciences, regardless of which track they pursued, in addition to Latin Prose Composition and Greek Grammar and Composition. First-year students were required to take geography, geometry, and algebra. Sophomores added trigonometry, physics, anatomy, and zoology classes. Students on the Scientific Course received more advanced science instruction and were no longer required to take Greek or Latin, but they still took calculus, physics, meteorology, chemistry, botany, geology, and astronomy with the rest of their class. Unlike today, with an increasing emphasis on science, technology, engineering and math from the government and employers, students were “earnestly advised to begin their studies with a view to completing the Classical Course as it affords greatly superior advantages.”

By 1886, the school had expanded to offer four donations. Mathematics received a “Surveying majors: Classics, English, Latin Scientific, and Transit with solar attachment” valued at $226 Scientific. While the Latin Scientific Course of study (about $5,800 in 2014 dollars).
