Events

Due to the overwhelming response to the spring 2010 Treasures of Italy tour, Carroll Alumni Relations has decided to open the trip up to more participants. A second tour bus has been added to the itinerary, leaving room for all of you who were disappointed when this popular trip sold out early on. The 12-day base tour to Italy will be May 17-28, 2010, with the optional tour extension to Oberammergau, Germany, for the famous Passion Play. For a complete itinerary and pricing information visit: http://www.carroll.edu/alumni/travel/

These will not last long, so if you are interested contact Alumni Director Kathy Ramirez at or at 406-447-5185.
