Enduring

"Enduring" captures the history of military commissioning programs at Carroll College. From Carroll's impact in the first and second World Wars to today's current Army ROTC program. Additionally, the book also follows the story of Nathaniel Smith and his experiences as a cadet while at Carroll College. Utilizing interviews, military logs, newspaper articles, and even emails, "Enduring" chronologically describes Carroll's history of ROTC and development over time. From a first person point of view, the second part of the book uses an anthropological and philosophic research method, studying an individual's relation to the human experience over his tenure at Carroll College (2017-2021). "Enduring" aims to define the relationship between an organization's history and one of its members, illustrating its core values across its tenure to present day.
