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 50 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 would not 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 funds raised during Phonathon are spent on 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 chat about their favorite professors, or maybe even network their way into an internship or job after graduation.
