In 2021, Carthage partnered with EAB’s Moon Shot for Equity initiative. This served as a unifying force, bringing together existing equity-focused endeavors from across campus and fostering greater cohesion. Three years later, Carthage's efforts—centered around their commitment to always pausing to ask, “Are we placing an unnecessary barrier to student success?”—resulted in their highest recorded retention rate and a remarkable 40 percentage-point increase in the retention of their Black student population.
