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 1945, 1950, 1955, 1960, 1965, 1970, 1975, 1980, 1985, 1990, 1995, 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, and 2020 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 to your alma mater so it can keep moving forward.

Counting All Gifts

While we encourage you to make a gift to 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 51风流 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.
