We have exciting news about our Class of 2022 Senior Class Gift!

Thanks to your help, we were able to surpass our original goal of 75 senior donors, so we've decided to set a new goal of 150 senior donors before commencement!

Did you know there are less than 100 days until graduation? Don't wait - make your gift today! With a donation of $20.22 or more senior donors will receive a silver philanthropy cord to wear at commencement. Collected funds will help support The Carroll Fund which provides students with scholarships, helps keep class sizes small, pays for supplies and facility improvements.

Are you part of a legacy family?

To ensure we are celebrating all the special legacy connections on campus, we are asking graduating seniors who have a legacy connection to share your family's connections with us. Legacy is defined as a current student who is related to an alumnus/na of Carroll including a parent, sibling, grandparent, cousin, etc.

Identified legacy students will receive a special gift from the Office of Alumni Engagement in the form of a legacy cord to wear at Commencement to celebrate your family's connection and collective Pioneer Pride. Please fill out this short Legacy Student Recognition form to share with us if you have a legacy connection and how you are related.

Hello Class of 2022!

Somehow we have reached our final year at Carroll University and let's just say we have experienced more than most other classes have. As seniors, we are the only current class at Carroll that has experienced a more stereotypical college year before the pandemic started. As we entered our last year, things started to feel more normal like when we first moved onto campus.

Through it all, we still found a way to make Carroll feel like our home. A home where you have found your forever friends. A home where you know there is always someone willing to help right around the corner. A home where the most loved person is a sweet lady named Gert.

We get to celebrate the great individuals we have become and leave Carroll a better place than it first was when we stepped onto campus. It is fitting that we celebrate 175 years of Carroll the same year we graduate because we recognize the honor to pursue higher education at this university and hope to inspire future generations that come after us.

Please consider donating to the Class of 2022 Senior Class Gift to celebrate the Carroll experience through The Carroll Fund. The Carroll Fund helps aid student scholarships, campus renovations, and the most immediate priorities.

Our goal is to motivate 75 of our classmates to contribute to our Senior Class Gift.

The Carroll Fund helped keep us on campus in the midst of the pandemic. It kept our learning as normal as it could have been during the time, thanks to the financial support of the fund we are trying to raise donations for.

All graduating seniors who donate $20.22 or more will receive a silver philanthropy cord for commencement!

Our college experience has certainly been far from what we planned, but it also has been a great pleasure to attend Carroll and create our memories here. We have experienced a changing world first hand and will continue to when we pursue other paths. Our gift will help future Pioneers experience their college years with more ease, allowing more time to focus on what truly matters during these special years. All of us have truly got by with the help of others and this gift helps us do the same.
