About

"Life is a mystery..." they say, and Carleton College equipped us with the tools to explore it with curiosity and creativity, and to decipher its complexities. As we approach our 20th reunion, let's celebrate the countless "mysteries" we've unlocked thanks to the transformative experiences we shared.

This year, we're not just reminiscing; we're looking to the future! Our goal is to unlock a $20,000 challenge gift for Carleton, and we need you! With the help of just 40 donors, this incredible contribution is ours, ensuring that future Carls have the same opportunities we did to pursue their own mysteries and go on to change the world for the better.

But the intrigue doesn't stop there. Each day of our campaign will unveil a mystery bonus, adding an element of surprise and excitement to our collective effort. Join us as we contribute to the next chapter of discovery, and let’s solve this mystery together!
