中等教育

麦迪逊佩恩 ’26 has found a home within the Carthage community. She’s formed connections with her professors, gained friendships as a member of the 田径 team, and learned a lot about 出赛’s 教育 system as a worker for Carthage’s Urban Teacher Preparation Program. She hopes to teach and coach somewhere in the local 出赛 area or in her hometown, where she can be a positive attribute to the lives of students.

马上申请

“Having positive relationships with the faculty here has helped me to create more opportunities for myself at Carthage, and it’s great knowing that I can reach out to any past or present professors if I need help.”

“I chose Carthage because the 教育 program really stuck out to me. I also was very fortunate to be able to continue my 田径 career here, which was another big draw.”

指导老师

“All of the faculty I’ve had the pleasure of connecting with have been great. 从我的 Intellectual Foundation’s teacher to the coaching staff, every Carthage faculty member has allowed me to feel wanted and cared for.”

最喜欢的课程

“My favorite class at Carthage so far has to be a tie between Modern Caribbean: From Pirates to the Cuban Missile Crisis and Intellectual Foundations. Both classes had great lectures and plenty of discussion time, which made the classes fly by. 在海盗, I remember going back to do the readings and being shocked by how little knowledge I came in with, which made me look forward to each day of the lecture. And as for Intellectual Foundations, I had a professor who never failed to facilitate great conversation.’”

艰难的类

“The toughest class I’ve had so far is Elementary Statistics. The class itself isn’t too difficult, but math and I have never been friends. My general disinterest in numbers makes the class harder for me, but that’s not to say it’s a bad class.”

校园的参与

“Aside from classes and work, 田径 take up a good portion of my time. I am lucky to have a great team and an even better coach who helps me to develop as a person and athlete each day. Competing this season was super fun, and I’m beyond grateful that I get to continue for another three years.

“I am also a member of the 姐妹会 and have really found a home there. We’re a community of great women who come from all sorts of backgrounds and experiences, and I’m happy to say I’m a part of this great organization.”

Golden opportunities

“Next year I get to participate in being an orientation leader, 同行的教练, and a SMARTER mentor, and I’m excited to meet and help the incoming freshman.”

Internships or campus employment

“I’ve been lucky enough to work in the Urban Teacher Preparation Program office here on campus. Professor Siovahn Williams 和夫人. Brumund-Smith are great employers, and I feel like I’ve gotten to learn so much about how local 教育 works in 出赛. We’ve put on a few different events this year, such as Teacher Appreciation and the Urban Education Summit. 仍然, even on a smaller scale, I’ve gotten to meet the students the schools we work so closely with through their tour dates and have gotten to play trivia and connect with them.”

Favorite spot on campus

“My favorite spot on campus is between the third-floor lounge of Tarble and the field by the 接吻的岩石. The lounge has so many memories for me and my friends, but it’s always nice to get outside and appreciate the 我们在校园里.”

最喜欢的记忆

“Some of my favorite memories at Carthage have been spending loads of time with my friends in our floor lounge doing everything from homework to set up for movie and game nights.”

最大的惊喜

“The biggest surprise about living in 出赛 and going to Carthage is that Wisconsin has grown on me. Everyone here is super welcoming, and there’s never a dull moment, even at such a small school.”

What would your 8-year-old self think of you now?

“When I was 8 years old, I thought I was going to be a pro basketball player, and judging by the fact that I got cut from JV, I think it’s safe to say 8-year-old me would be shocked. 当我还是个孩子的时候, I was always convinced I would never want to teach, but once I stepped into a classroom, 感觉很好, so I think my younger self would be proud.”
