Student Callers

These dedicated students connect with alumni and parents of the University throughout year. They are calling to provide campus updates and keep you informed on what is happening at the University.

Calls also provide an opportunity for you to support your passion at the University. Our students understand the impact your gifts have on student experiences and enjoy an opportunity to personally thank you for all that you do to support the University.

If you’re a current Rochester student and are interested in job opportunities at the call center, email us at annualfunds@rochester.edu.
