Students on the line

The annual student calling campaign is underway at Alumni House where a team of 14 students will call alumni members from now until March to raise $160,000 for the UVic Excellence Fund, the Alumni Fund, the McPherson Library, general scholarships and bursaries. A special faculty of education fundraising appeal is set for Nov. 21. New call centre facilities have been installed this year with the help of the UVic Alumni Association and the division of external relations.
