#StaySafeCarthage

Strong. Safe. Healthy. Together.

We are excited to welcome students, faculty, and staff back to campus. As we move forward in this new era, Carthage remains committed to providing a transformative education for our students, and a safe, healthy environment for the entire Carthage community.

Our plan for reopening campus has been developed carefully, after much research and consultation with internal and external experts, as well as local and state public health officials.
