GAVIN CUMMINGS

Keys for Success During the Mass’s Most Stressful Tradition Sunday Mass: A blessed, 2000-year- old tradition wherein people of faith across the globe gather in celebration and remembrance of God’s loving sacri- fice for us. For many, it represents both the spiritual highlight of the week and an opportunity to gather in community with our fellow classmates and be re- minded of what is truly important. And due to the long-awaited opening of All Saints Chapel, Mass at Carroll will soon have the beautiful home that has been so long in the making. The truth is, however, not every second of the Mass is a picnic. About three-quarters of the way through the celebration, after the last words of the Lord’s Prayer are uttered, Mass-goers are ripped from their prayerful, reflec- tive state and thrust headfirst into a 10-second trial of social competency that could cause even the most extro- verted of social butterflies to break a sweat: the Sign of Peace.

The Prospector Thursday, September 28, 2017 Campus 3 Student review of the new Carroll App Student Columnist

KELSIE WATKINS

The recently launched Ellucian GO application, available for iPhone and An- droid, allows Carroll students quicker and easier access to school resources. Now, instead of having to search online for sites like Moodle, My Carroll, CCIT, or the Saints’ Student Account center, users can access these apps and more on the Ellucian GO app. This adds a new level of convenience and ease of access to students. "The new app made the first couple days of school easy because I could see where my classes were just by logging into the app," said Breanna Caldwell, a senior anthrozoology major from Aurora, Colorado. It can be difficult or inconvenient to reach a computer to double check a Moo- dle assignment or register for a course on Carroll Self Service, but the Ellucian GO app mitigates these inconveniences. While the app offers increased conve- nience for users, it isn’t perfect. The app puts all of the services that Carroll students use most in one con- venient place, but it still opens those services on the device’s internet browser. This means that the interface is designed for computers and not mobile devices, and is less convenient to use. Students still must login in to each individual service on the app, which can be as time consuming as going online without the assistance of the app. The Ellucian GO app is a step in the right direction towards making Carroll services more accessible to students. That being said, there is still work to be done to perfect the app. With minor changes, Ellucian GO can continue to make life easier for students at Carroll and other universities. For example, making the interface more convenient and organized, keeping the services within the app (rather than redirecting to another app), and allowing students to save their login information on the app would make it more user-friendly.

John graduated from Carroll in 1985. She has been work- ing at Carroll for 18 years. Carroll also offers nursing students the unique opportunity of receiving their education in a liberal arts Catholic setting. This environment is not one that could be found at another state university or secular college. “Since Mind, Body, Spirit wholistic health is so important, having that spiritu- al side here at Carroll really develops you into a better nurse than at a non-religious school,” said Josie Smith, a junior nursing student from McMinnville, Oregon. “I’m not Catholic, but even that Christian side Assistant Professor Stephanie Burkholder (pictured right) blesses the hands of senior nursing student Delaney Cummings (pictured left).

It was a three-day hike to get up to the village where you take a train to get to Machu Picchu. It was difficult but really beautiful,” Vazquez explained. This trip was led by Spanish professor Dr. Ryan Hallows. Hallows explained that the goal of the trip was to offer individu- alized internship experiences for the students. He also encouraged all students to take advantage of studying abroad, no matter what your major. “The most beneficial aspect of studying abroad is impromptu problem solving, language learn- ing, cultural understanding, and adventure,” said Hallows. Vazquez also believes studying abroad is a great experience for college students. “I 110% recom- mend studying abroad to every- one.”
