Phone-A-Thon Callers have another record year!

Every year, the Advancement Office hires about 20 students for the Alumni Phone-A-Thon, and they are tasked with (cold) calling UW-Green Bay alumni to ask for updates and a donation to support student scholarships at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. After 1,270 calling hours, a multitude of “no’s” and hours of exceptionally uncreative voice messages, these students pulled out another Phone-A-Thon record in support for UW-Green Bay. The final total is $60,517, which development specialist Tracy Heaser of Advancement reports is a 9 percent increase over last year’s record. If you see Kate Akerboom, Jess Amelse, Kristi Auner, Sarah Busko, Emily Carroll, Janae Due, Brianna Hansen, Breanna Hanson, Savannah Hornbacher, Sydne Johnson, Rebecca Krizan, Lizzy Kroll, Chloe Krueger, Marti Kuimjian, Lindsey LaBissoniere, Jenevieve Lee, Casi Schatzman, Brook Theama, or Alex Vahlsing, please extend them a “congratulations” for their hard work, positivity and efforts to support their University. Go Phoenix!
