Carroll Community College

Academic Communities bring together often-isolated elements of the student experience. From making connections between formal academic experiences and other learning opportunities, you can relate academic study to life interests and goals.

If you are interested in making a difference, this community emphasizes exploring majors and careers in Elementary, Secondary and Early Childhood Education. For more information, contact Susan Sies at ssies@carrollcc.edu, Marlene Welch at mwelch@carrollcc.edu or Jackie Moore at jmoore@carrollcc.edu.
