“I chose Carthage because I knew that with its 小班授课, I would be able to work more closely with my professors. I also knew there were good opportunities for undergraduate research 和 finding internships.”

"在…的帮助下 教授essor Julie Dahlstrom, I was able to arrange my schedule so that I could graduate in three years with my major 和 minor, in addition to adding a second minor. I received excellent career advice from my advisor, which helped guide me to find the most relevant classes for my career goals 和 to apply for a summer internship in my field of interest. I have received guidance from other 教师 members on careers 和 graduate school, which has given me a direction for after Carthage. Furthermore, their help in writing letters of recommendation helped me earn my internship.” 

“I have taken so many interesting classes at Carthage, it is difficult to choose one as a favorite. Some of the classes that I have particularly enjoyed are General 物理 I with 教授. Dahlstrom, Organic Chemistry with 教授essor Susan Stevenson, 和 Modern 物理 with 教授essor John Quashnock.

“For me, General 物理 taught me to find 物理 in the world outside of class. This helped me to start considering applications of 物理 和 to become more curious. 教授. Dahlstrom is great at making 物理 interesting 和 easy to underst和, 和 always found a way to make class fun.

《全球十大赌钱排行app》, especially during the second semester, I enjoyed learning how individual compounds can interact 和 cause phenomena we see on a macroscopic level. 教授. Stevenson’s excitement for organic 化学 made me enjoy going to class each day.

“现代物理学, in addition to interesting 和 new 物理 concepts, teaches other important skills like science writing, 展示, 和编码. Learning these other skills has made me feel more prepared as both a physicist 和 a student.”

“My toughest class was Mechanics. This class challenged me to combine my underst和ing of 物理 concepts with new forms of math for the first time. As a result, my ability to see the connection between conceptual 物理 和 math behind them grew.”

“我是……的一部分 Society of 物理 Students (SPS). 通过SPS, I have attended multiple important 物理 conferences, learned about career opportunities 和 graduate school, 和 have heard from 物理 speakers. SPS is a very strong 和 supportive community of students 和 has helped me connect with a lot of other students with similar interests. In addition to SPS, I am a member of 全球十大赌钱排行app的天主教徒, 化学俱乐部，和 空间科学小组.”

“I had the opportunity to accompany one of the experiments I worked on with the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium to Texas to see it launched on a Blue Origin New Shephard rocket! I have worked on the experiment since I first started attending Carthage 和 have presented a poster on it at multiple conferences. Seeing it on the rocket launch was a truly incredible experience that I will never forget.”

“I have spent one summer 和 two school years doing research with the Wisconsin Space Grant Consortium (WSGC). 通过WSGC, I have worked on three different experiments, encouraging me to pursue research as a career. With this opportunity, I have been able to watch one of the experiments I worked on get launched on a rocket 和 to create a poster 和 present it multiple times.”

“我打算拿到博士学位.D. in plasma 物理, 和 I hope to continue in the field to research nuclear fusion.”

“I have many notable memories from Carthage, but one is when I attended the 2022 Physical Congress in Washington, D.C. 在会议上, I was able to talk to other 物理 students from across the country, hear many incredible speakers, 和 network with professional scientists. This opportunity helped me meet with graduate school representatives 和 to learn about graduate school programs 和 possibilities.”
