In the heart of central campus lies a room in the Howard Center that comes alive each evening with the energy and excitement of students. Their mission is to increase Annual Fund participation among alumni, 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.
When you are contacted, the student will first make sure that your mailing address (including e-mail) and employment information are correct, then update you on any recent news or upcoming events on campus. The student will then ask for your support of this year’s Annual Fund Campaign. Your gifts help to support academic needs at the University, such as scholarships and library resources.
When you make a pledge by phone, you will receive confirmation by mail. You may designate the pledge to a particular program or fund if you so desire. Upon request, we will send you additional information. We hope that you will be able to participate and to ensure that Howard will maintain its reputation for academic excellence – now, and for future generations!
Our callers are committed to assisting us with maintaining and improving the Howard experience for current and future students. These students value the quality education that they receive at Howard, and they realize the life-long advantages that it provides. For this reason, our TeleCenter callers are not only contacting alumni, parents and friends to ask for support, but they are also calling to thank them for the great opportunities and experiences that they are receiving at Howard!
