Any graduate or undergraduate student group! It isn’t limited to WashU-affiliated groups. Have a friend group or residential floor that wants to run a booth? You can too!

Why should my group participate?
Carnival provides student groups a unique opportunity to interact not only with the WashU community but also the St. Louis community as a whole.
It’s also a great fundraising opportunity. Your groups decides what to do with money you raise, whether that be keeping it for your group’s use, donating it to our community partner, or donating it to another charity of your choosing.
