Phonathon
Phonathon callers are essential to the mission of PUC, the success of the College’s philanthropic efforts for student scholarships, and maintaining relationships with alumni. These 18 student callers contact thousands of former students to ask for their support of their alma mater. We believe students are the best people to talk about PUC because they can share stories of the PUC experiences they are living and update alumni on the current campus happenings.
Though there is a philanthropic goal for phonathon it is not the only, nor the most important goal, we want each call to be a meaningful conversation for both student and alumnus. When you receive your call please take the opportunity to ask questions and share stories. If you haven’t received a call from us in a while, please contact us and update your information (http://www.puc.edu/alumni/updates; alumni@puc.edu or 707-965-7500).
Thank you for being PUC alumni and thank you for your support of your alma mater. You make it possible for potential and current students to live their own PUC story.
