Who Are We?
The Student Calling Program highlights the heart and soul of the University of Calgary: our students. Our program was established in 1995 to help bridge the gap between past and current students attending the university and it has become an essential part of the university's annual fundraising program.
The Student Callers help alumni to stay connected with what's new at the university, by sharing information about alumni benefits and services, upcoming events, and exciting news about the campus!
The Development Office is comprised of multiple divisions, working together to raise money for programs and initiatives across campus. Since 2003, the Student Calling Program has been operational, raising over $300,000 in the last year alone.
Previously running out of Craigie Hall, the Student Calling Program has recently moved to the Olympic Volunteer Center at McMahon Stadium, allowing us to expand our team by increasing the number of student calling stations!
In this position, you will have the opportunity to meet exciting new people from different faculties, expand your network connections, and take part in shaping the future of the University of Calgary. We are excited to highlight student-specific funds this year, which will improve not only your student life, but that of everyone on campus!
Our callers from Spring Semester, shown in the picture below, were all smiles during our Annual Pizza Party! Welcome to the team!
