We hope you’re ready to Rock the Tower! In ONE week, stop by our table in Montgomery to celebrate Converse's 10th annual day of giving with Jeopardy and a chance to win some great prizes. This is our FINAL round of hints for our Jeopardy game. Make sure you continue to look closely at all of the places and spaces on campus that are named after generous supporters of our dear alma mater. Who's ready to play on Nov. 5?

Thank you, Dr. Kellam for Rocking the Tower!

"I because I believe in our students and the mission and vision of Converse. As a first-generation, low-income student, donors' generosity helped me achieve my dream of becoming the first person in my family to earn a college degree. Please help me on November, 5, 2026." Dr. James W. Kellam, Associate Vice President for Student Financial Services

helps open doors!

I because I believe higher education should open doors, not create barriers. As a proud first-generation college graduate, Converse alumna, Financial Aid Counselor, and EdD student, I understand education's power to transform lives and create opportunities for future generations. My journey inspires my commitment to helping students overcome financial barriers, persist through challenges, and achieve their dreams. I believe in our students and Converse University's mission. Please join me in investing in their future on November 5, 2026! 💜💛 Danielle Fuller, Financial Aid Counselor

On Thursday, December 3, 2026, Converse will host our beloved community tradition, Festival of Lessons and Carols. We invite you to light up the night and purchase a luminary to recognize a friend, mentor, professor or family member. These meaningful tributes will line the walkway to Zimmerli Performance Hall's Twichell Auditorium and serve as a guiding light for visitors. Proceeds support the Student Benevolence Fund. Click this link to secure your luminaries by November 4 --> https://wl.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E341355&id=285
