A SPECIAL THANKS GOES OUT TO THOSE WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE 2006-07 ANNUAL FUND CAMPAIGN THROUGH THE PHONATHONS. WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF GENEROUS ALUMNI AND PARENTS, DUKE WOULD NOT BE THE OUTSTANDING UNIVERSITY IT IS TODAY.

Why do we call?

Our mission is to increase Annual Fund participation among alumni and parents, while also establishing ties with those who are not able to come back to campus. As a matter of fact, these students are the key element to increasing Annual Fund participation and to the Annual Fund's overall success. Our callers are committed to helping maintain and improve the Duke experience for students of today and tomorrow. These students value the quality education they receive at Duke, and they realize the life-long advantages that it provides. For this reason, our phonathon callers are not only calling alumni and parents to ask for support, but they are also calling to thank them for the great opportunities and experiences they are receiving at Duke!

When do we call?

In the heart of central campus lies a room that comes alive each evening with the energy and excitement of students. These Duke students meet nightly (Sunday - Thursday) during the spring and fall semesters in the garage of the Development Office.

Who do we call?

We call alumni and parents across the nation.

• Supervisors

Student supervisors are the backbone of the student Phonathon Program. Supervisors generally have previously been employed as student callers. They do a wonderful job working with individual student callers, offering bonus incentives, running games, evaluating calling statistics, fixing technical difficulties, and just keeping things running smoothly. Students employed in this position are dedicated to doing their part toward maintaining and improving the quality of education and life at Duke.
