John Carroll University, founded in 1886 as Saint Ignatius College, is located in University Heights, Ohio, in suburban Cleveland. The University’s Jesuit Catholic mission inspires our nearly 4,000 students to excel in learning, leadership, and service in the region and the world. John Carroll University is recognized nationally for an exceptional four-year graduation rate, teaching excellence, and a commitment to living a faith that does justice as central to its mission. John Carroll is one of 28 Jesuit colleges and universities in the United States.
“In 1982, we began a relationship with John Carroll University that continues today. Because of the habits, interests, and abilities we developed during our four years, our education didn’t end at graduation. Thanks to the lessons learned, the bonds developed, and the inquisitive spirit nurtured both in and outside of the classroom, we’ve become learners forever. While JCU provides its students with an outstanding education, it does more. It plants the seeds for personal growth in the lifetime beyond. When you graduate from John Carroll, you don’t leave; you are sent … ready to grow as an engaged citizen. Please support the Forever Carroll Campaign, and join us in preparing the next generation for a life of learning.”

“At John Carroll you don’t just learn inside the classroom; you learn how to think beyond yourself. Your professors, advisors, and classmates push you to consider how the things you are learning–and, therefore, the things you will do in your life–affect the world around you. You learn about ethics and decision-making skills that will guide you in your journey to becoming a man or woman for others. Laura and I believe strongly in this work, and want to create opportunities for future students, so we have chosen to generously support and co-chair the Forever Carroll Campaign.”

“I walked out of Carroll far more prepared to handle the realities of life than I would have had I gone to many other schools. Carroll prepared me to live life honorably. That’s what’s unique about the depth and breadth of the John Carroll experience. We have an obligation to enhance and reinvent that experience. This is why Beth and I have chosen to give back through the Forever Carroll Campaign, so we can personally help ensure that future generations will enjoy and benefit from all that John Carroll offers.”
