PHONATHONS 2002
This fall the university and the high schools will conduct their phonathons
for the annual fund. The high schools call alumni and alumnae over a period
of a few weeks. The university callers begin in September and call throughout
the school year. University alumni receive a letter informing them that
they will be getting a call soon. The annual fund supports university
operations, mostly through tuition grants to students, and these funds
are very much needed.
And when a student calls, please be sure all of your information is updated, including your email address and birthday.
