About

Rock the Tower is our 24-hour day of giving when the entire Converse community comes together to celebrate what Converse has made possible and to help build what comes next.

For 10 years, people who believe in Converse have shown up for this moment. As we celebrate a decade of Rock the Tower and reflect on your impact, we also look ahead to the students, the experiences, and the opportunities still to come.

Today is the day that alumni, students, faculty, staff, families, and friends come together once again to help write the next chapter for Converse.

Gifts received during Rock the Tower will go directly to the Converse Fund. Every gift, no matter the size, supports the experiences that define Converse: scholarships, academic programs, student success, and the moments that transform our community – now and forever.

Show your support today and help us Rock the Tower!

THIS is why we Rock the Tower!

Today's the day! 

For the next 24 hours, the entire Converse community will come together to celebrate 10 years of Rock the Tower and investing in what makes 580 East Main so special. 

Every gift supports the Converse Fund, helping make the Converse experience possible for today's students and generations to come. 

Hear directly from the students who live the experience every day! From the people, places, and programs they love to the opportunities that help them transform into the leaders of tomorrow, their stories show just how much donor support matters. 

Be part of what makes Converse, Converse. Make your gift today!
