Laurie Gaffney
Carroll College welcomes this new face in the Wellness Center.
As a previous counselor at Carroll College, Gaffney is very familiar with the campus atmosphere. She is a licensed social worker who obtained her Undergraduate degree from MSU Bozeman working with physical and learning disabilities in children. She then obtained her graduate degree in Social Work from University of Iowa. Laurie came back to join Carroll because she absolutely loves Carroll students. Her favorite Carroll activities include Mass, graduation, and the annual student induction ceremony. Her hobbies include walking, hiking, canoeing, and fishing. "My hope for new students coming to Carroll,"she said," is to know themselves a lot better and to leave with little anxiety as possible.
