Descriptions of Carroll College do not often do it justice because it is a cherished institution
that truly has to be experienced. The stunning campus grounds present a serene refuge from
the loud and bustling city life. The brilliance of our faculty, dedication of our staff and our
academic excellence possess a vibrant soul. The education offered here is crafted upon the
foundation of a radiant vision of life and a love of humanity.
Carroll is a sanctuary of wisdom that captures one’s heart. Serving it as a trustee, board chair,
working with professors on an External Speaker Policy and developing meaningful
relationships with staff, administration and fellow trustees will always count among the most
richly rewarding experiences of my life.
~ Father Patrick Beretta, Chair, Carroll Board of Trustees
