Class Gift
Class Gift Campaigns
Each spring, graduating students come together to honor their Minnesota Carlsonexperience and support current and future students through their Class Gift campaign. By participating in the Class Gift Campaign, students are recognizing the ways that they have benefited from the donations of alumni who preceded them, and are committing to pay it forward to insure that future generations of students have their own life-changing experiences at Carlsonl. Participation in the Class Gift campaign also marks the beginning of graduates' lifelong relationship with Carlson - no longer as students, but now as engaged alumni.
Each year, the Institutional Advancement Student Board organizes a variety of events and activities to engage their fellow students in philanthropy at the Carlson School, including developing and executing the strategy for their Class Gift campaign. Learn more about the Institutional Advancement Student Board here or email Megan Tenenbaum at [email protected] for more details.
The Full-Time MBA Class Gift campaign is managed by the MBAA Vice President of External Relations, typically with the help of a volunteer committee made up of both first and second year Full Time MBA students. Contact your Vice President of External Relations or Megan Tenenbaum ([email protected]) to get involved.
Many other programs at the Carlson School, including the Masters of Accountancy and Masters of Human Resources and Industrial Relations, have coordinated Class Gift campaigns in the past. If you are interested in organizing a Class Gift campaign for your program at the Carlson School, please contact Megan Tenenbaum at [email protected].
