Since 2015, the We Energies Foundation has committed $200,000 to help Carroll University build a pipeline of future engineers from diverse backgrounds. In April, the foundation contributed an additional $100,000 to fund pre-engineering scholarships for the fall, 2021, semester. The scholarships support underrepresented students who would not otherwise be able to afford the opportunity.
As Carroll celebrates 175 years of rich liberal arts tradition, the new Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Dr. Kareem Muhammad, hopes to build on that legacy.
