The ThurtenE Carnival is the oldest and largest student-run carnival in the United States. Each year, the net proceeds from the Carnival are donated to a St. Louis area charity. The Carnival always creates new and exciting memories for all who share in the experience. “Lot Week,” the week leading up to the Carnival, has been declared ThurtenE Carnival Week by the Governor of Missouri. During this week, the Brookings Parking Lot is transformed into a playground for the imagination. The ThurtenE Carnival traditionally attracts well over 80,000 people. This April 11th-13th, the ThurtenE Honorary expects over 100,000 people from both the Washington University and St. Louis community to attend the Carnival. The ThurtenE Carnival brings together over 50 student organizations at Washington University. From Residential Colleges, fraternities, and sororities to religious and ethnic organizations, participation in the Carnival is diverse and abundant. The teamwork of these diverse groups is what brings the Carnival to life. Fraternities and sororities build overwhelming façades and perform original plays for children, while other groups operate carnival games or host a food booth. These efforts contribute to making ThurtenE Carnival a truly unique event.

We believe that a student’s critical awareness of the world and adeptness in oral and written communication provide a lasting basis for professional success and a fulfilling life. By providing solid grounding in English or communication studies, courses in each major develop the skills and perspective that enable students to adapt to change and devise creative solutions to new problems. Optional professional concentrations in broadcasting, journalism, professional writing, public relations, and teacher certification prepare students for specific careers. We also offer internship opportunities and a variety of extracurricular activities. Dynamic classes, a growing number of majors, and the long-term success of our alumni demonstrate the relevance of our programs to a diverse and changing society. Fontbonne students who have majored in English or communication studies have pursued careers in law, advertising, public relations, teaching, business, politics, journalism, and broadcasting.
