ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº Magazine Students Take to the Phones
For five weeks in February and March, ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº students spent the evening calling alums to raise money during the annual phonathon. Unless otherwise designated, these gifts support The ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº Fund.
Carolee Halopoff Peterson ’88, director of annual giving, has established two goals for this effort: raising $50,000 and increasing the percentage of alums who make gifts to the college. In 1996, only 13 percent gave to ËÄ»¢Ó°Ôº.
Three alumni trustees have agreed to match dollar-for-dollar every contribution from a new alumni donor or an alum who has not made a gift in recent years. Carolee hopes that the opportunity to double their gift will encourage many such alums to make a pledge when a student calls.
