Reunion Giving

The first time you stepped foot on Carroll’s campus, it instantly became a special place in your life. It’s where you gained new life skills, made friends and shared experiences, and earned a degree that still stands strong today.

Come Back and Give Back to Move Forward

Although the campus may look a bit different to today’s students, the Carroll mission remains the same:

To keep that mission strong and moving forward, we are excited to celebrate milestone reunion years with alumni who graduated in 1944, 1949, 1954, 1959, 1964, 1969, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989, 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019 during Homecoming and Reunion Weekend.

In honor of your milestone reunion, we invite you to join us for Homecoming and Reunion Weekend festivities as well as give back to your alma mater so it can keep moving forward.

Counting All Gifts

While we encourage you to make a gift to The Carroll Fund or Current Scholarships, we understand that you may wish to support another fund, student organization, academic program, resource, or experience on campus that was most meaningful to you. Either way, a gift in honor of your reunion can be transformative for current and future Carroll students.

It only takes one person to make an impact at Carroll University so imagine what an entire community of alumni can do! When other alumni and friends, and corporations and foundations, see a high percentage of Carroll alumni giving, they do too. In addition, your gift will help your class achieve its participation goal. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of today's Pioneers!

Any gift made from January 1-December 30 of a reunion year will be recognized as a reunion gift—regardless of the size or designation.

Combined Efforts

Reunion giving campaigns offer each class the opportunity to honor their milestone reunion year with a collective gift to a single purpose. Below is an overview of the goals of each class celebrating a reunion this year and their progress in achieving those goals, as well as the committee members who are leading the way and championing your class to achieve its goals.

One-time gifts, monthly gifts, and multi-year gifts

One-time gifts, monthly gifts, and multi-year gifts all count toward your class goal. From credit card and Venmo to Donor Advised Funds and QCDs, we accept a variety of gifts. Whatever option works best for you is this one we hope you will consider this year.
