Birkbeck’s Telephone Fundraising Campaign – meet the 2019 student callers
The
Birkbeck Summer Telephone Campaign 2019 has now begun. A team of passionate
Birkbeck student fundraisers will be contacting alumni over the next five weeks
to fundraise for College priorities.
Alumni
gifts provide financial support to deserving students, and this support can
often be the difference between being able to complete their studies, or not.
Relieving some of the financial burden for a student enables them to perform to
the best of their ability by minimising the stress induced by monetary
pressures.
Not only
do alumni gifts provide assistance to these deserving students but they can
also have an impact on life at the College, ensuring that future generations of
students have the best facilities, support, advice and career guidance during
their time at Birkbeck.
Tara Millington, Regular Giving Officer at Birkbeck has said: “the telephone campaigns are a wonderful testament to the Birkbeck alumni community. Alumni often feedback about how much they enjoy speaking to a current student. Whether it’s financial support, providing work placements or volunteering to be a mentor, our alumni continue to contribute to make Birkbeck such special place to study.”
The Summer Campaign will run between 4 June and 6 July – if
you’d like to receive a call from one of our students, please get in touch with
Tara Millington (t.millington@bbk.ac.uk).
