THE BEST INVESTMENTS “Throughout Dr. Carroll's tenure, she demonstrated exceptional leadership in advancing engagement and innovation, positioning the college to meet and exceed AACSB standards. Her commitment to continuous improvement, meaningful stakeholder engagement, and impactful business education has left a lasting imprint on the institution. Her legacy is reflected in stronger programs, enhanced accreditation standing, and a culture of excellence that will continue to shape future generations of business leaders.” -Dr. Gary Chao “It’s been a privilege to work alongside Dean Carroll and see firsthand how dedicated she has been to experiential learning. She has always been incredibly supportive. There truly was never a time she turned down a request. That openness and willingness to say “yes” created so many opportunities for students and colleagues alike, and it’s something that will be remembered. Her commitment to hands-on learning has left a lasting mark here, and it’s a big part of the legacy she leaves behind.” -Dr. Soojin Kim “Anne will truly be missed. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to work for her. There have been so many adventures, and I’ve always loved hearing about her travels, but I have a feeling this next chapter will be her best one yet.” -Ally Larese “The PASBDC sits in a unique position as a semi-autonomous unit. Anne was great at insisting that work product and data analysis should not simply be an academic exercise, but rather something with purpose and that drives decisionmaking and change. She was a tireless advocate for linking our work back to the student success and Community/Civic Engagement strategic goals of the University, and instrumental at helping me navigate the peculiarities of working in an academic institution through a period of significant change. I remain grateful.” -Brian Kelly “When Anne became our Dean, we had been without a permanent Dean for a while. We had a bit of catching up to do her first year with AACSB accreditation. I appreciate her leadership, which positioned us to stay on track for a successful Continuous Improvement Review in 2020.” -Donna M. Steslow, JD “Anne has given us many unforgettable memories especially those involving cars and the occasional encounter with a ditch! But beyond the laughs, I truly wish her all the best in retirement. She has been a wonderful boss, friend, and source of support, and I know she’ll make the most of this exciting new chapter spending time with her grandson.” -Katie Bowen “They say retirement is about the journey, not the destination, but after 9 years of trekking from New Hope to Kutztown, I think you’ve had enough 'journey' to last a lifetime. By my math, you’ve spent about 270,000 miles staring at asphalt, which is basically driving to the moon and then doing a few victory laps around it. We’ve always admired your superhuman dedication, though I’m sure the deer of Bucks County are currently throwing a party knowing their most formidable highway rival is finally hanging up the keys. Thank you for proving that a 'commute' is really just a marathon with better scenery. Enjoy the much-deserved break from the driver's seat!” -Dr. Greg Kaufinger “It has been a privilege to work with Anne in the College of Business, and I appreciate her years of leadership and service to Kutztown University. I wish Anne happiness, good health, and continued success in the next chapter of her life.” -Dr. Chali Nondo “It has been a privilege to be part of the College of Business during your time as Dean, and you will be greatly missed. Wishing you all the best in this new chapter—may it be filled with happiness, good health, and well-deserved relaxation.” -Patty Braga LEAVE A LEGACY 5
