Duel of the Decades

The Day of the Duel is over and the 2000s are the winner by 25 donors!  Read all about it here.

Challenge:  A generous Muhlenberg alumni couple has set forth a participation challenge - a duel to increase alumni participation!

Players:  There are two decade teams.  Muhlenberg alumni from the Classes of 1990-1999 are matched up against alumni from the Classes of 2000-2010

Rules:  Make a gift to The Muhlenberg Fund! Gifts of any size made to The Muhlenberg Fund this year (July 1, 2012-June 30, 2013) count toward the duel. The decade with the largest increase in alumni participation - over last fund year - wins!

Victory: What does victory mean?  See below...and click here for a list of current donors to the Duel of the Decades.

Participation percentages for each decade (and class) will be determined by the current number of alumni from each class and decade.
