I came to Carroll in 1995. I have enjoyed the casual, yet, demanding academic atmosphere created by our students, faculty, staff, and our community at large. I also like the size of our classes and the unique interaction we develop with our students.
Beginning Spanish classes. It still amazes me to see how students are able to comprehend current articles and effectively communicate ideas and discuss contemporary issues in Spanish within their first semester. They are able to achieve this following the methodology used in their Spanish Acquisition classes. Truly amazing!
