A man chosen by his peers in a remarkably brief conclave. A man whose first message to the world was a simple but powerful call for peace.”

Today we're launching something new: The Human Work is a Substack publication exploring what's at the heart of Carlow's unique approach to higher education. Each week, through profiles, reflections, and stories, we'll explore purpose, leadership, service, and what it means to make a difference in the lives of others.

We hope you'll subscribe and follow along.

Our first story is live now, featuring Dr. Barron Taylor, whose journey from unemployment to nurse practitioner, educator, and Carlow graduate is a powerful reminder that a second chance can change everything. Discover The Human Work:
