Mercy-Based Mission and Goals

Mission of the Carlow University Alumnae/i Association

The Carlow University Alumnae/i Association's mission is to encourage the lifelong learning of its members, to recognize and affirm the mission and values of the university as they are lived by alumnae/i, and to promote ongoing, mutually life-giving relationships among alumnae/i themselves as well as between Carlow alumnae/i and the contemporary university community.

Reunion Year Class Goals

Carlow Alumnae/i Classes celebrate their milestone reunion years and show their thanks by paying tribute to the University through the Class Gift. In preparation for the class reunion at Alumnae/i Weekend; there is a wonderful model of generosity from alumnae/i who remember the significance of their Carlow education and collectively contribute toward the success of our current students.

Goals are set as a way to engage each Reunion Year Class in raising the idea of giving back to Carlow with a particular dollar amount and also with a certain percent or participation rate from individuals in the class. The collective gifts are combined and are recognized as the Class Gift during Alumnae/i Weekend in the fall of each year.

Each Reunion Year Class is invited to be a part of a committee–making calls, writing letters, and connecting with classmates to make their goal.

Compare these statistics regarding our full-time undergraduate students versus when you were a Carlow student:

  • 55% are the first in their families to attend college
  • 92% receive financial aid at an average level of $10,031
  • Tuition is $21,720 (per year 2009-10)
  • Cost per credit = $682
  • Room and board charges are $8,552 for double occupancy
  • Textbooks cost from $87 to $140 each
