KENOSHA, WI (05/08/2015)(readMedia)-- Local students who attend Carthage College were among the presenters at the fifth annual Celebration of Scholars event April 24, 2015. The poster exhibition features original research, scholarship, and creative work completed by Carthage students.
These students exhibited their work:
