Phonathon
At the Bellarmine Phonathon, students call alumni and parents to raise money for the
university’s greatest needs while balancing full course schedules. If
you’re an alumnus/na, parent, or friend of Bellarmine, we look forward to
speaking with you. If you’re a student, we hope you’ll consider joining
our team.
What is Phonathon?
The Phonathon is a critical component of Bellarmine's success. Phonathon is an annual program under the
direction of the Development and Alumni Relations Office. We hire
approximately 40 students and train them to call alumni, parents and
friends of the university in order to update address and employment
data, build relationships and raise money for Bellarmine. Alumni and
friends have been supporting Bellarmine since the first class took place
on campus. Without such support, Bellarmine wouldn't be able to offer
new technology, student support, and the many other features that make
it a great university.
Why do students work for Phonathon?
They care about Bellarmine and realize how
important the Phonathon Program is to maintaining the strength of the
university. The money raised during Phonathon is spent on programs
important to students – scholarships, faculty/staff grants and special
campus projects - in addition to basic operations. Working at the
Phonathon gives students the opportunity to enhance vital interpersonal communication skills while also allowing students to make a
difference and earn spending money. Talking with alumni, they can
learn about our school’s past and maybe even network their way into an
internship or job after graduation.
