senior class speaker

The winner of the Distinguished Senior Award has performed at an exceptional level in academics and has demonstrated exemplary leadership in the Carthage community and beyond. Faculty and seniors were asked to nominate graduating seniors for this award, and nominees then were required to submit a resumé and a personal statement. A group of faculty and staff reviewed the submissions, deliberated, and chose the winner.

As the recipient of this year’s Distinguished Senior Award, Ella Spoelstra ’21 will deliver the senior class address.

Ella majored in theatre performance with a minor in English. The graduating senior from Cary, Illinois, contributed to Carthage productions as an actor, dancer, director, and dramaturg.

In the Kennedy Center American College Theater Festival, her work earned multiple certificates of merit as well as a Regional Directing Award in a 10-minute play competition. Ella directed “Eurydice” for her senior thesis, culminating with three main-stage performances in February.

Ella worked on campus as a writing fellow at the Brainard Writing Center and a marketing writer for the Fine Arts office. Off campus, she was a teaching artist at Christian Youth Theater Chicago and a volunteer camp counselor at Fort Wilderness Ministries in northern Wisconsin.

Ella Spoelstra ’21

Initially, Ella intends to work in theatre and creative spaces as a performer, writer, director, and teacher. Long term, she plans to pursue a Master of Fine Arts in theatre — a necessary step to teach at the college level.

distinguished alumni awards Tom Kieso ’73 is co-owner and vice president of the Wm. F. Meyer Co., a plumbing fixture distributor with 11 locations across the Chicago area. Starting as a pickup truck driver, he learned the family business from the ground up.

Together with a cousin, he bought the company from relatives in 1987. Reminding everyone to “be prepared and you won’t be scared,” Mr. Kieso helped steer Wm. F. Meyer safely through multiple recessions while competitors folded.

Tom E. Kieso

Carrying on the tradition of his community-minded parents, Mr. Kieso shares the three T’s: time, talent, and treasure. He has been an active trustee of the College since 2005 and previously served on an advisory board for Lutheran Social Services of Illinois.

Mr. Kieso has given generously toward residential, academic, and athletic building projects on campus, chairing the fundraising committee for the Campbell Student Union. Beyond Carthage, he donates to a variety of causes that support families.

A frequent traveler, Mr. Kieso has visited 66 countries. He has three children and lives in Chicago with his wife, Lisa.

distinguished alumni awards Recently re-elected for another six-year term, Cynthia Thomas Walker ’78 has served as a judge in Michigan’s 50th District Court since 2003. Originally appointed to fill a midterm vacancy, she became chief judge in 2010.

Before joining the bench, she worked as an attorney for more than 20 years. Positions with Legal Services of Eastern Michigan and UAW Legal Services led her to Pontiac, Michigan, where she later served as city attorney and court administrator.

Through speaking engagements and role-playing activities, Judge Walker strives to make the law and legal careers accessible to younger generations. She has received multiple awards for professional, civic, and philanthropic contributions.

Cynthia Thomas Walker

In 2018, Judge Walker co-founded the Wiggan-Kenniebrew Black Alumni Network, which supports students of color at Carthage. The network and its associated funds are named in part for her aunt, the late Lorraine Wiggan ’46, the College’s first Black graduate.

Judge Walker has a law degree from Valparaiso University in Indiana. She has an adult son.

distinguished alumni awards After an accomplished career as a Chicago attorney, LeAnn Pedersen Pope ’79 retired to focus on social justice ministry and philanthropy.

At Burke, Warren, MacKay & Serritella, she maintained a national business litigation practice. Founding the Consumer Financial Services Class Action Defense Group, Ms. Pope successfully defended major banks and mortgage banking companies in more than 200 cases.

LeAnn Pedersen Pope

After 30-plus years, Ms. Pope left the legal profession to pursue a Master of Theology — which she earned from Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary in May. She engages other white Christians to understand privilege and its role in systemic racism.

Elected to the Carthage Board of Trustees in March, Ms. Pope is the newest member. She has generously supported the College’s equity and inclusion initiatives.

Ms. Pope serves as board chair for Opportunity International, a nonprofit working to end extreme poverty in Africa, India, and Latin America. She also assisted young Black men through CRED (Create Real Economic Destiny), which seeks transformational change in Chicago gun violence.

She has two grown children and lives with her husband, Clyde Smith McGregor, in Winnetka, Illinois.

faculty speaker Patricia Flannery, who joined the Carthage faculty in 2017, is a clinical assistant professor of nursing and interim director of the department.

She brings more than 30 years of clinical experience as an emergency department nurse, nurse educator, and trauma coordinator. Prof. Flannery has continued to work part-time at a nearby emergency department to keep her skills current.

In 2019 and 2020, Carthage nursing students named her Educator of the Year. Also known as the Crystal Flame Award, it’s given to a faculty member “who facilitates creativity and enthusiasm both in the classroom and in the clinical setting.”

Outside of Carthage, Prof. Flannery has taught resuscitation for health care workers and CPR for members of the community. She previously served as both chair and vice chair of Wisconsin’s Emergency Cardiovascular Committee, part of the American Heart Association.

Patricia Flannery

In 2020, Prof. Flannery earned a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (with a focus in educational leadership) from Grand Canyon University. She completed a project designed to improve health literacy among ER patients.
