Phonathon update: We want to thank our wonderful alumni who shared their time and their resources with us. It is such a blessing to our students to connect with you. We have the best alumni in the world! We started Phonathon with phone numbers for more than 6,500 alumni. We now have less than 2,000 calls left. We will assemble a team of students to continue calling these remaining alumni from our Advancement office throughout this semester. Our financial goal for this Phonathon was $175,000 for the student scholarship fund. Thus far we have received $117,000 in pledges. As we continue to call this semester and we send out our follow-up mailings, we expect to reach that goal.
