Phonathon Student Callers

Phonathon Callers

The Phonathon program at Westminster consists of five current student callers. Students call during the fall and spring semesters to reach out to alumni, parents, and friends of the College.

These students serve a vital role at the college.  "We work to keep connections between alumni and the college active," said one caller. "Our work is important because we help increase the Alumni Participation Rate (APR), which in turn increases our rankings."

One third of all donors to the Westminster Fund last year came as a result of these students efforts. Thank you to all of you who pick up the phone and talk to one of our friendly phonathon callers!

The goals of the Westminster College Student Callers are:

  • To share news and invite alumni, parents, and friends to events
  • Help keep the College's records up to date
  • Raise money for The Westminster Fund: the unrestricted fund on campus that supports the critical needs of the College
  • Engage and help build lasting relationships with members of the Westminster College Community
