Qualifications and Responsibilities
What would I be doing
as a phonathon caller?

Student callers are a vital part of the
fundraising team for the Shippensburg
University Foundation’s Annual Fund Program.
Each semester student callers gather nightly (Sunday –
Thursday) in the calling center located at the Conference Center to
call alumni, parents, and friends of the University.
Each student serves as an ambassador and fundraiser for
Shippensburg during our “Ring-A-Raider” phonathons.
Not only do our students call to seek support for the
University, but they also reconnect with those individuals who are
unable to make it back to campus. |
Student callers are essential in:
· Updating alumni information;
· raising increased support;
· ensuring the phonathons overall success;
· Maintaining and improving the SU experience.
What is the Annual
Fund?
The Annual Fund is a fundraising initiative involving students, volunteers, faculty, staff, and friends of Shippensburg University. Money is raised each year to support expenses not covered by tuition and other fees.
Annual Fund money
provides for the most immediate needs of the University such as:
·
student scholarships
·
student/faculty research projects
·
new technology
·
cultural programming
· and much, much more!

In the 2007-08 year, student callers secured over $576,000 in pledges during the fall and spring phonathons alone! We are always looking for energetic and enthusiastic students. Added incentives, a flexible schedule, convenient location to campus, and a positive work atmosphere are only a few ways we try to make this the best possible job for you.
