Aligning Mission with Philanthropy

Board of Trustees The power of aligning mission with Seeking Truth, Building Strength, Inspiring Service — Together.

The Carthage mission is far more than an old campus saying repeated at presidential dinners and printed on coffee mugs. It’s a challenge. A challenge that we put forth to every student, alumnus, friend, faculty, and staff member.

To work COPY together to make SWALLOW the world a better place.

Seeking Truth At Carthage, we understand that the quest for Truth is a lifelong journey and that knowledge, experience, and understanding — gained through God’s word and a love of learning — are the surest guides. I can think of no one who exemplifies this mission more than the Rev. Dudley Riggle, professor emeritus of religion. Pastor Riggle spent

more than 50 years at Carthage, inspiring countless students to live a life of faith and higher purpose.

This spring, Hugh ’66 and Liz ’65 (Dean) Foster joined with nearly 100 other donors to establish an endowed scholarship in his honor. Pastor Riggle officiated at the Fosters’ wedding in 1966.

“Pastor Riggle was our teacher, pastor, and friend,” they shared. “Truly, he changed the course of our lives.”

Building Strength In the quickly changing atmosphere of higher education, Carthage and our partners have made great strides to strengthen our academic and career preparation programs. Partnerships, like that with Dr. Cary Bjork, are helping to revamp our pre-health advising program and make Carthage a leader in pre-health education.

Because of financial support such as the WigganKenniebrew experiential learning grants and a new Thomas and Kayla Baran endowment, The Aspire Center can provide funding for students in unpaid and underpaid internships while also supporting student research and international J-Term study tours.

The Board of Trustees has final governing and fiduciary responsibility of the College.

Trustees provide essential support and leadership, inspiring all Carthaginians to rise to the challenge of the Carthage mission. chair Jeff Hamar ’80

GIVING SUMMARY

philanthropy The Aspire Program’s comprehensive career preparation and experiential learning opportunities help build high-demand skills, industry expertise, and boundless curiosity.

Inspiring Service A true Carthage change-maker, Professor Patrick Pfaffle, sadly passed away this spring. The J-Term study tour he established to Nicaragua exposes students to the world of international service and philanthropy. Pat represented the very best of what Carthage is and has been. He demonstrated extraordinary dedication to his students and their learning, growth and development.

In 2018, President John Swallow and his wife, Cameron, approached me with the idea to celebrate 150 years of educating women at Carthage in 2020.

Over the course of the past year, the idea has grown into a phenomenon that has brought together dozens of women volunteers and other friends of the College who worked with great passion and dedication to launch this yearlong celebration. I have been overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response.

Many in the greater Carthage community have come together not only to support the initiative financially, but also to lend their time and expertise to make this celebration a success. A national volunteer committee consisting of 76 women, led by co-chairs Gina Madrigrano Friebus ’76 and Maria Markusen ’91, is developing programs and meaningful events on campus, in the Kenosha community, and throughout the region. Both the level of involvement and inspired giving have made me proud to lead the Office of Institutional Advancement during this significant milestone.

The College has already gratefully received several gifts to establish endowed and annual scholarships in

honor of women or to support women.

The Rev. Tim Fangmeier, brother of the late Ruth Fangmeier, professor emerita of social work, created an endowed scholarship in her memory.

Prof. Fangmeier was a beloved and respected member of the Carthage faculty whose tenure spanned more than 20 years. Her students remember her for her kindness, compassion, quick wit, and inspirational teaching.

After learning of the initiative, Ron Geison ’61 was inspired to establish a scholarship honoring his mother and her favorite Carthage professor, Alice Kibbe. For more than 30 years, Prof. Kibbe taught biology and botany and was the first female chair of the Carthage Biology Department.

Alice (Schleuning) Geison was her student from 1931 to 1933.

Her experience with Prof. Kibbe inspired her love for botany and agriculture and instilled in her a lifelong appreciation for learning and education, which she passed on to her children.

The 150 Years of Carthage Women celebration also provides opportunities for women to enact positive change on campus beyond their lifetimes. I was deeply touched to hear about the recent estate gift from Dorothy Goos

’56, who, after graduating from Carthage, went on to have an immensely fulfilling career as vice president of Lutheran Social Services in Illinois. Ms. Goos was the first woman elected vice chairman of the Metropolitan Chicago Synod Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Through her gift, the spirit of her good works will continue at Carthage.

These are only a few of the amazing stories we have heard since the launch of this initiative, and the corresponding support allows us to create a better, stronger future for the Carthage women of tomorrow.

Perhaps you have a story that you would like to share. If so, please contact me or anyone on our staff, or share it online at carthage.edu/ women150. I am excited to continue our celebration in the year ahead!

With deep appreciation,

Collaboration fuels more robust pre-health program

David Brownholland, associate professor of chemistry, saw the need to support Carthage students pursuing graduate programs that lead to health care careers.

In an increasingly competitive admissions landscape, he wanted to ensure they adequately prepare for and select the advanced programs that best fit their interests and skill sets. With that in mind, he and fellow faculty members formed the interdisciplinary Pre-Health Advisory Committee in 2015.

“I think liberal arts colleges are uniquely positioned to prepare students for medical school and careers as health care providers,” said Prof.

Brownholland, chair of the advisory committee. “Increasingly, health graduate programs are interested in complete individuals — people who are able to communicate effectively, think critically, and practice medicine with empathy and compassion.”

Since the committee’s formation, the College has taken steps to bolster advising for students considering graduate programs in medicine, dentistry, nursing, pharmacy, occupational or physical therapy, veterinary science, and other health care fields. More than 300 Carthage students have a

pre-health focus.

Committee members have focused primarily on students as they prepare to apply to graduate school – usually juniors, seniors, and even alumni. Moving forward, pre-health faculty are eager to boost support for first- and second-year students by introducing them to career options, arranging job shadowing, and coaching students on the ethical and political dimensions of health care.

The next step in expanding support for those interested in health professions will be implemented this year. As part of the College’s new holistic advising model, a career specialist in The Aspire Center will assist students in pre-health or the sciences.

“Given the growing demand for health care professionals, this is a critical time for the College to take a leadership role in preparing students for these high-demand careers,” said Lisa Hinkley, associate vice president and executive director for career and professional development. “Our location between Milwaukee and Chicago, integrated model for advising, and high-quality course offerings are just a few of the strengths benefiting students going through the expanding pre-health program.”

Dr. Cary Bjork ’68, recipient of the 2006 Distinguished Alumni Service Award, participated in the mock interview and committee recommendation process for the past

given the growing demand for health care professionals, this is a critical time for the college to take a leadership role in preparing students for these high-demand careers. two years. He mentored pre-med students for many years as a prominent physician in Marquette, Michigan.

“After retirement, I have very much enjoyed becoming more involved with the Carthage pre-health advisory programs and working with such dedicated students, faculty, and staff,” said Dr. Bjork, who also participated in the College’s medical mission to Nicaragua during J-Term 2018.

He pledged to establish an endowment funding the pre-health work, naming it for one of his own Carthage mentors: the late Herman Ogren, a passionate professor who taught biology, comparative anatomy, anthropology, astronomy, and even ocean scuba diving. Dr. Bjork still recalls a conversation with Prof. Ogren in 1967 “regarding a physician’s obligation to teach and mentor those who will carry on the profession in the future.”

Dr. Bjork’s contribution will pay an adjunct professor to cover one of Prof. Brownholland’s courses,

allowing the Pre-Health Committee chair to dedicate additional time to the program’s development.

“I’m proud of the work that Carthage alumni, faculty, and staff have done to prepare our students to become future leaders in health care,” said President John Swallow. “Together, our efforts will not only benefit Carthage pre-health students, but impact the greater health care industry and the community that it supports.”

Please consider contributing to the Professor Herman Ogren Pre-Health Fund. Dr.

Bjork will match each gift of $1,000 or more, up to $20,000. If you have any questions about how to give, or if you are interested in sharing your time and professional expertise with the program, please contact Bridget Haggerty at bhaggerty1@carthage.edu.

PARENTS, ALUMNI, DONORS TOGETHER SUPPORT CARTHAGE ATHLETICS At Carthage, the goals of our athletic programs go far beyond the scoreboard. Athletic participation has been shown to benefit many aspects of social and academic life. From developing individual self-confidence, drive, and persistence to facilitating teamwork, collaboration, and moral reasoning, sports play an integral part in the education of Carthage student-athletes.

Leadership donors Dr. David Waitley and Dr. Gail Grizzo-Waitley see that up close as the parents of David Waitley ’21, who competes in swimming and diving. He placed fifth, sixth, and seventh in three freestyle events at the 2019 College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin David Waitley ’21 championship and made the CCIW Winter Academic All-Conference Team as a sophomore.

“His involvement in Carthage athletics has markedly improved his college life experience,” they shared. “We are proud to support athletics and other student life activities.”

In 2020-21, Carthage will add three new sports: men’s and women’s wrestling and women’s bowling.

“It’s inspiring to see so many people in the Carthage community come forward to support our student-athletes,” said Michelle Manning, director of athletics. “Parents, alumni, friends, faculty, and staff give not only financially, but also through their time, energy, and by attending events. And the dedication of our coaches is unsurpassed.”

During the 150 Years of Carthage Women celebration, gifts to women’s athletics made by women or in honor of a woman will count toward our fundraising goals.

CART H AGE CO M M UN I T Y HO NOR S BELOVED S PI R I T UA L L E ADE R On Giving Day 2019, Hugh ‘66 and Liz ’65 (Dean) Foster issued a challenge to the Carthage community: Help us to fund an endowed scholarship in honor of the Rev. Dudley Riggle.

For more than five decades, Pastor Riggle’s ministry, teaching, counseling, and service has shaped and enriched the lives of thousands of Carthaginians and members of the southeastern Wisconsin community. He officiated the wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Foster in 1966, and they have enjoyed many years of friendship since.

Carthage alumni, faculty, and friends responded with vigor to the Fosters’ challenge. By the end of the day, more than 90 participants gave over $68,500, including leadership level gifts from Bill ’71 and Phyllis Mischo, George ’77 and Toni Chardukian,

Mary ’86 and Dudley Riggle, Hugh ’66 and Elizabeth Foster ’65

Riggle. “I’ve always counted it a great privilege to have known and served so many people in the Carthage community for more than 50 years. I’m both honored and humbled by their gracious comments and their generosity in giving.”

Pastor Riggle, professor emeritus of religion, developed Carthage’s chapel and religious life program after the College’s relocation to Kenosha in the early 1960s. He served as campus pastor through 1980, when he became a professor of religion and later chair of the department. He developed and participated in the Carthage outreach program, through which members of the faculty made presentations in hundreds of Wisconsin and Illinois congregations.

His work on death and grief brought Pastor Riggle national recognition. He was one of the founders of Kenosha Hospice Alliance, which provides workshops for individuals and their loved ones nearing the end of life. Many Carthage alumni refer to his Issues of Death and Dying course as a transformative experience that conveyed lifelong lessons.

Pastor Riggle continues his service to Carthage by participating in Homecoming and other College gatherings, and by representing Carthage at many church and community events. In 2016, he was awarded the Carthage Flame, the highest recognition the College bestows.

His wife, Mary (Meyers) Riggle ’86, and their two children, Debbie Riggle Dillman ’78 and Laura Riggle ’80, are all alumni.

Last year, our impact report included the story of how a few trustees and alumni came together with the mission to expand diversity and strengthening inclusion at Carthage. From their efforts came the Wiggan-Kenniebrew Black Alumni Network and four distinct financial aid funds. The alumni group and related funds are named in honor of the College’s first African-American female and male graduates: Lorraine Wiggan ’46 and Alonzo Kenniebrew ’54.

In Fiscal Year 2019, more than 95 donors contributed to these funds, which are making a significant impact on the lives of our black and minority student recipients.

Accomplishments:

• Financed J-Term study tours for 11 Carthage students

• Provided tuition support for more than 20 students

• E ngaged a wide network of alumni, friends, faculty, and staff in diversity and inclusion efforts

• O rganized the first Black Alumni Network reunion during Homecoming 2019 “Thank you very much for your generosity with the Wiggan-Kenniebrew Experiential Learning Fund. Without [the grant], I would not have been able to have the life-changing experience that I did traveling to Senegal, West Africa. … I sought this funding because my dream in life is to improve the United States for the future generations of African-Americans — a dream that I know I will achieve by becoming a state prosecutor and fighting my way up the ladder of politics to ensure the change I wish to see in the world.”

CART H AGE R E M E M B E R S E S T E EM E D BI OLOG Y P R OF E SSOR Patrick Pfaffle, a much-loved professor of biology for more than 20 years, lost his battle with cancer in May.

“A Pfaffle classroom was always encouraging, energetic, and fun,” said Professor Paul Martino, chair of the Biology Department. “He never forgot what it was like to be a young person and was indeed young at heart until the end.”

Prof. Pfaffle was integral in the creation of Carthage’s J-Term study tour to Nicaragua, giving students a chance to serve in medical clinics or work on water quality projects while experiencing and learning a culture that he loved. To honor his memory, friends in the Carthage community are raising funds to install a wayfaring sign that points toward Nicaragua and to establish a scholarship for students who otherwise couldn’t afford the study tour.

Denhart Society

LIVING G E NE R O US LY – CHRIS T INE K I N G ’9 7 Carthage alumna Christine King ’97 gives back to her alma mater in more ways than one.

As an active member of the Alumni Council, Ms. King helps students during their first day and their final day on campus by volunteering at both New Student Orientation and Commencement. She is also a critical member of the Beacon Awards selection committee, helping to honor Carthage alumni who make a difference in their communities, and a new member of the President’s Leadership Council.

This spring, she interviewed our most talented and motivated new freshmen to help determine the 2019 Presidential Scholarship recipients.

In addition to giving her time and talent, Ms. King supports the College through generous philanthropic contributions.

She gives toward financial aid and sponsored a suite in The Tower Residence Hall and a collaborative lounge in the Science Center.

This year, Ms. King made another decision that will help ensure the future financial security of the College.

The Henry Denhart Society recognizes individuals who provide for the College through estate plans and a variety of planned gifts. These charitable contributions help ensure the strength and quality of Carthage for generations to come.

In Remembrance

“I have shared my legacy plans with Carthage,” she said, “because I know that helps the college make wise decisions.”

As a financial planner, Ms. King understands that the legacy and impact of an individual can extend beyond their lifetime. Carthage uses projected estate commitments to make critical decisions about its finances.

“Carthage professors supported me at a very important time of my life,” she said. “I want to be sure that kind of commitment to students is available for future generations.”

PARENTS HONOR D AU GHTER’S CARTHAGE EXPERIENCE WITH END OWMENT

A LIFE AND LEGACY DEDICATED TO SERVICE Dorothy Goos’ mother declared that her sons and daughters would all have the same opportunity to receive an education. That determination took root in Dorothy and became evident as she fulfilled her life’s vocation.

She graduated from Carthage in 1956 and received a Master of Social Work degree in 1958 from Washington University in St. Louis. That led to a career with Lutheran Social Services of Illinois (LSSI), beginning at a treatment center for abused and neglected children.

Ms. Goos took on progressively more responsibility, advancing from supervisor to director and ultimately becoming the first female vice president at LSSI, a position she held until her retirement in 1995. Throughout this rise, she always kept a few cases for herself so she wouldn’t lose touch with the people she was serving.

In both her career and volunteer work, Ms. Goos broke through the glass ceiling. She was the first woman on the board of directors for The Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and the first woman elected vice chairman of the Metropolitcan Chicago Synod Council of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

In the words of friend and colleague Jeanne Scheide, “To call you a pioneer does not even begin

to adequately capture the risks you took as a woman at a time when women did not take such risks.”

At the end of her life, Ms. Goos left one more example of generous living: She provided a legacy gift to Carthage. Working with her family, the College has set up the Dorothy G. Goos Endowed Scholarship for students with financial need.

Ms. Goos was a pioneer in her field. Thanks to her gift, future students receiving her scholarship will have the support and education to become pioneers in their own right.

To call you a pioneer does not even begin to adequately capture the risks you took as a woman at a time when women did not take such risks.

For four years, Steve and Kristin Tripp watched their daughter, Kayla (Tripp) Baran ’13, flourish and industry insight without having to stress as a student at Carthage. From their home in about making rent.

Board of Trustees The power of aligning mission with Seeking Truth, Building Strength, Inspiring Service — Together.

The Carthage mission is far more than an old campus saying repeated at presidential dinners and printed on coffee mugs. It’s a challenge. A challenge that we put forth to every student, alumnus, friend, faculty, and staff member.

To work COPY together to make SWALLOW the world a better place.

Seeking Truth At Carthage, we understand that the quest for Truth is a lifelong journey and that knowledge, experience, and understanding — gained through God’s word and a love of learning — are the surest guides. I can think of no one who exemplifies this mission more than the Rev. Dudley Riggle, professor emeritus of religion. Pastor Riggle spent

more than 50 years at Carthage, inspiring countless students to live a life of faith and higher purpose.

This spring, Hugh ’66 and Liz ’65 (Dean) Foster joined with nearly 100 other donors to establish an endowed scholarship in his honor. Pastor Riggle officiated at the Fosters’ wedding in 1966.

“Pastor Riggle was our teacher, pastor, and friend,” they shared. “Truly, he changed the course of our lives.”

Building Strength In the quickly changing atmosphere of higher education, Carthage and our partners have made great strides to strengthen our academic and career preparation programs. Partnerships, like that with Dr. Cary Bjork, are helping to revamp our pre-health advising program and make Carthage a leader in pre-health education.

Because of financial support such as the WigganKenniebrew experiential learning grants and a new Thomas and Kayla Baran endowment, The Aspire Center can provide funding for students in unpaid and underpaid internships while also supporting student research and international J-Term study tours.

The Board of Trustees has final governing and fiduciary responsibility of the College.

Trustees provide essential support and leadership, inspiring all Carthaginians to rise to the challenge of the Carthage mission. chair Jeff Hamar ’80
