The Drake Phonathon provides a great opportunity for current students to connect with alumni while making a difference on campus. We provide flexible scheduling, as well as a career connection network to help students find the first job out of college.

As an employee, you would be expected to ask the prospects for a specific amount of money, update information, and foster good feelings with the prospect. Most of our work will be centered around fundraising for the school’s annual fund, which pays for all of the things students use on a daily basis, including computers & technology, library books, scholarships, and faculty enrichment.

It is a time commitment of three shifts a week. Shift times are Monday–Thursday, 5:30–9 p.m., and Sundays, either 1:30–5 p.m. or 5:30–9 p.m. Students are paid $7.25/hour the first month and then bumped up to $8.25/hour. Calling will take place in the Kinne Alumni and Development Center, which is located on the corner of University and 24th Street next to US Bank. Interested?
