Dunne joins Campus Ministry team by Abby Kloker Colleen Dunne has joined the Carroll College Campus Ministry Team as the Associate Director of Campus Ministry. In this position, she will work closely with the Kirchen Ministers and Fr. Robert Turner, Director of Campus Ministry. “I am very excited to be(a) part of campus ministry; I have met lots of great students and have had lots of fun working with them. I feel that we have a lot of great things planned for this year,” said Dunne about her new position. Working with the Kirchens, Dunne plans many events for the students in St. Charles, Borromeo, and Trinity, with hopes of keeping them actively involved with cam- • pus ministry. Some of these events include root-beer float socials (starting soon after Sunday night Masses) and guest speakers. Dunne also directs the Headlights group. Headlights is a service immersion program which takes students to different parts of the United States during both fall COLLEEN DUNNE POSES IN FRONT OF ST. CHARLES CHAPEL PHOTO BY KATIE STIEL and spring breaks. The service trip dents to issues of social justice is meant to open the eyes of stu- outside of their own community. At these sights the students are able to actively work with the community and leam about the lives of others. For example, they examine what poverty is like and what can be done to change that. This year’s fall Headlights trip is to Browning, MT and Ashland, MT to the St. Labre Indian School. Dunne also coordinates through volunteer services with the Helena community in the “Bridging the Gap” program. This program gets Carroll students connected with the community through volunteer projects. Along with her responsibilities in campus ministry, Dunne is cur rently teaching an Alpha Seminar class. Dunne is a 1994 graduate of Carroll with a Communication/Public Relations degree. In 2000 she attend Notre Dame where she studied theology and made practical application to ministry to obtain a three-year pro fessional ministry degree. In 2003 she graduated with a Master of Divinity degree. Transfer enrollment up By Linsey Lindgren This fall semester 195 students applied to transfer to Carroll College. Currently, 71 of those 195 students are enrolled. This is a slight drop from last year which had 187 applications and enrolled 87. Of the enrolled transfer stu dents, 58% are female, and 42% are male. The class level at the time of the transfer varies, there were 12 freshmen, 27 sophomores, 26 juniors, no seniors, and 6 post bachelor transfers. * Approximately 46% of the enrolled transfers live on campus. It has been charted that the top five reasons this year’s transfer students choose Helena are because of its: academic reputa tion, location, athletic recruitment, employment potential/size/aca- demic programs, and religious affiliation. The top majors entered by the transfer students are: nursing, biol ogy, business administration, accounting, elementary education, philosophy, and general studies. Transfer specialist Mike Brown feels most students come to Carroll for a more personal atmos phere and remarks that “you are not anonymous here.” With small er class sizes the students are able to build strong relationships with the advisors and staff. Carroll is a private school so, “we are able to offer merit scholarships based on grade point average that are only available for transfer students.” Brown understands that the money is an issue when coming to Carroll, but he is confident that for the money put out by the students and their parents, Carroll is a worthwhile experience. From the professors, the degree of educa tion, to the activities related to the school, Brown says students feel more satisfaction at Carroll than other schools. The geographic areas which transferring students come from various areas of Montana and states such as Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, and Oregon are among the top out of state trans fers. Athletic recruits are another important aspect of transfers to Carroll. Carly Syverson was recruited from Spokane Falls for basketball. She is studying busi ness management and appreciates “the smaller class sizes, how accessible the professors are, and having tutors available.” Syverson also added that Helena is a “Pleasantville. It’s so beautiful here, and the people are all so happy.” Most applicants’ first contact with Carroll came through the Internet; through online applica tions, test summiting, transcripts being sent form school to school, getting credits transferred, dealing with financial aid setup, and find ing housing.
