Carroll College history 2 Founded in 1909 by Bishop of Helena John Patrick Carroll, Carroll College began as Mount St. Charles College, a male-only diocesan institution housed in a single structure, St. Charles Hall, that enrolled Montana middle-school and high-school students in the hopes of attracting a collegiate student body. US President William Howard Taft was present at the school’s June 1909 cornerstone laying, when Bishop Carroll declared the college’s central purpose of providing a thorough liberal education that would equip students with knowledge and virtue for their pursuit of leadership in any vocation. Mount St. Charles graduated its first college student, Patrick McVeigh, in 1916. To honor its founder, the college was renamed Carroll College in 1932. When the Great Depression and World War II threatened the college’s closing, Carroll’s president, Rev. Emmet Riley, attracted the federal Navy V-12 Program to campus, invigorating enrollment and facilities, thus saving the college. After World War II, enrollment began a steady upward trend, with an all-time high of 500 enrolled by 1949, thanks to the influx of GI Bill veterans and the college’s first female students admitted to the newly created nursing education program in 1946. Two women would become Carroll’s first female graduates in 1948, and by 1952 Carroll became fully co-educational. In 1978, Carroll College adopted its official mission statement, authored by Carroll history professor Rev. Jeremiah Sullivan, which recognized Carroll’s role as a liberal arts college in the ecumenical tradition of the Second Vatican Council. The mission statement remains the college’s guiding document. Today, Carroll College’s student body continues at its peak of approximately 1,500 students hailing from all over the US and internationally, with that student body comprised of people of all ages, backgrounds and religious faiths.

  • Baccalaureate Mass 2013 Carroll College Bishop George Leo
    Baccalaureate Mass 2013 Carroll College Bishop George Leo Thomas THE FIFTH FORCE Fifty years ago, Bishop Raymond G. Hunthausen, the former priest-President of Carroll College, and sixth Bishop of Helena, participated all four sessions of the Second Vatican Council. At age 91, he is now the last living American Father of the Council. Upon his final return from Rome, Bishop Hunthausen ushered in dramatic and unprecedented change into the Diocese of Helena. These changes impacted not only the rhythm of life in the Diocese, but also directly and dramatically affected the life and structures of Carroll College. Many of those changes were immediate and simple to describe, visibly and directly impacting the clergy and laity in their everyday lives: The Bishop introduced a vision of shared responsibility, where priests and laity were asked, or more accurately, expected, to collaborate together in a new and untested model of leadership. This was a radical departure from a formerly all clerical leadership structure, and introduced a new vocabulary into Church—unheard words like “collaboration,” ”consultation,” and “collegiality,” to name a few. This vision gave rise to parish and finance councils in the Diocese, and new structures like the Faculty Council and the Board of Trustees at Carroll College. Bishop Hunthausen encouraged a new level of ecumenical and interfaith dialogue among religious leaders of all persuasions, a major change in a Church that was distinguished by a highly honed skill of talking to itself. In the next decade, Carroll began to describe itself “as a Catholic diocesan college in the ecumenical tradition.” Bishop Hunthausen introduced the vernacular into the liturgy, which proved to be a welcome change for most, but provoked strong reaction by others who had grown accustomed to hearing Latin as the only liturgical language they had ever known.

  • Zeta Upsilon : a Historic Overview 1982-1992 by Judith Anne Klaboe
    Zeta Upsilon : a historic overview 1982-1992 by Judith Anne Klaboe-Russell A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Nursing Montana State University © Copyright by Judith Anne Klaboe-Russell (1997) Abstract: An honor society is an association of primarily collegiate members and chapters. Its purposes are to encourage and recognize superior scholarship and/or leadership achievements among the membership. Nursing's honor society is Sigma Theta Tau. Its purposes are to foster high professional standards, encourage creative work, promote the maximum development of the individual, and promote a spirit of fellowship among members of the nursing profession. The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the development, growth, and evolution of Zeta Upsilon, the Montana Statewide Chapter-at-Large of Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society for Nursing. It documented the history of the chapter's first decade, 1982 through 1992. Historical research methods were utilized for this study. A review and analysis of archival materials was completed. Oral history interviews were conducted with the chapter's first eight presidents. Upon evaluation of the data collected in the oral history interviews and data found in the Executive Committee minutes and the chapter's newsletters, the researcher found many examples of the promotion of leadership and professionalism, the two major concepts of the study's conceptual framework. Examples include writing seminars, research grants, scholarly presentations, encouragement of participation in the chapter's activities, and attendance at statewide, regional, and national meetings. The findings of this study indicate that the forerunner of Zeta Upsilon, the Montana Honor Society of Nursing, the Zeta Upsilon Chapter, and the presidents of Zeta Upsilon did foster leadership and professionalism in its members.

Tim Radosevich bets some chips. Circle K raises funds for charity at gala Michaela Fetzer Staff Writer arroll College Cirlcle K teamed up with Narrate Church to put on their second annual An Evening in Monte Carlo Gala fundraiser for CAIDSpirit on November 23 in Helena and raised $480 for the charity. "I would say the evening was a success, we not only raised money for AIDSpir- it, but awareness for the organization as well," said senior Karen Hoffman, a biology major from Lake Stevens, Wash- ington. AIDSpirit is a nonprofit based in Billings that runs a school and children's home in Uganda. “It is called AIDSpirit because many of the children there were orphaned by HIV, although they accept any children without parents,” said Hoffman. AIDSpirit assists children with a very holistic approach by helping the people survive and know basic life skills. “AIDSpirit sustainably supports those who are affected by HIV in Uganda such as providing access to clean water by cre- ating water wells, educating people about hygiene and nutrition and opening health clinics, building a shelter for orphans, and Photo courtesy of Joyce Lui teaching people how to grow their own Benedict Zepeda and Karen Hoffman play a game of cards. food,” said Joyce Lui, a fifth year ele- mentary education major from Portland, Oregon.
