It was spring 2008 in the town of colleges, cows and contentment and Carleton seniors were looking forward to commencement and whatever came next…
Little did they know that 15 years later, in the spring of 2023, they would be met with a challenge - the Blockbuster Challenge.
If the Class of 2008 receives gifts from 100 donors between March 30th - April 5th, DVD Fest videos from our past will resurface, and we’ll unlock $25,000 for our 15th reunion gift.
Will we make it? Can we do it?
Stay tuned, because…It’s all up to US!
Thanks to everyone who participated in the 2008 Blockbuster Challenge! We're incredibly grateful for your support!
Hear from students...we asked Carleton students “Why are you thankful for the Carleton community of alumni volunteers and donors?” We have collected some of the responses on the Student Gratitude board on the main Maize and Blue Daize page. Check it out!
