Calling Program

Plymouth State’s Student Calling Program is a critical component of the University’s Annual Fund, providing annual support for student scholarships, academic programs, athletics, the University’s operating budget, and much more. Through the Calling Program, alumni and friends have the opportunity to engage with students in a manner that furthers the long-term, positive relationship each person called has with the University.

Plymouth State’s student fundraisers are proud representatives of the University who enjoy connecting with alumni and friends to share stories and learn about the experiences of others while encouraging everyone to participate in the Annual Fund.

Did you recently receive a call from one of our student fundraisers? Please take a moment to provide us with feedback about your conversation. We strive continually to improve our program and value your opinion.

Are you a current Plymouth State student who is interested in becoming a student fundraiser? Through this experience, you’ll gain valuable skills, such as relationship building, customer service, interpersonal communications, and fundraising. And, it’s a great résumé builder! Contact Sam Wisel ’12, Annual Fund Calling Program Manager, for more information.
