She has been a visiting professor in Women's Studies at the University of North Carolina for the past two summers. Carol taught creative process and poetry for adults and children at the Loft Literary Center throughout the year. In April, Carol organized a presentation of music, poetry and photography at River Falls.

Carol joined a collection of faculty poets at the University of Minnesota in a reading of Peace poems in February. Two of her peace poems have been accepted for publication in 2005 in Out of Line, a literary journal.
