Welcome Parents

Whether or not this is your first child to go to college, each college search is unique and just as overwhelming - the job is never easy.

The values that a Jesuit, Catholic university can instill in its students will build upon the foundation that you have laid as a parent. Specifically, at John Carroll it means:

• faculty and staff that cares deeply about developing the whole student - intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, physically;
• a classroom environment intentionally absent of large lecture halls;
• a community characterized by a high level of student involvement in various organizations, athletic teams, and service opportunities;
• an advising system that still utilizes mid-term grades and assessment to make sure we monitor students well;
• a residence life staff committed to helping students adjust to living with students the same as and different from them and grow independently;
• a campus linked to a city with career and internship opportunities to prepare for a global workplace.

We understand what students need to grow and to be ready for a global world that awaits them. It takes a good balance of support and challenge to our students. We are honored that you are considering entrusting your son or daughter to our care in this effort.

Sincerely,

Brian Williams
Vice President for Enrollment
