There are numerous reasons why the biology program truly shines at Carroll, but I believe the primary reason is the amazing interaction that occurs between the professor and student. The professors make it a priority to get to know each individual in the program and help them to succeed throughout not only their undergraduate education but into their graduate and professional career. The undergraduate research experience I received at Carroll not only solidified my career ambitions but also paved the way to my graduate career.

B.A. Philosophy and Biology 2007

What is philosophy to me? To me, philosophy is striving to understand what is in order to best inform how to be. Or in other words, what to do with my limited time.

A native of Spokane Washington, Laura Kohler is a 2007 civil engineering graduate. While at Carroll Laura was active in theatre and president of a student service organization called Engineers Without Borders (EWB).

In May 2007 nine members of Carroll College's student chapter of EWB embarked on their first international service project, traveling to the Santa Maria del Méxicano orphanage in the state of Queretaro, Mexico, to replace an open sewer with a modern treatment system. Laura was a leading member of the team.

B.A. Philosophy 2015

I graduated in Fall 2015 with a degree in philosophy. My philosophy thesis was entitled,An Investigation of the Self as relational and the propensity for evil produced from indifference towards human relationships. Provoked by Albert Camus’ The Stranger, this thesis explores the connection between evil and indifference towards human relationships. Relying heavily on Hannah Arendt and Simone De Beauvoir, I offer an understanding of the self as relational and then explore how an indifference towards human relationships leads to a higher propensity for evil.
