2012 Telephone Campaign

 2012 Telephone Campaign

Our 5th annual Telephone Campaign took place from 17 March to 1 April inclusive.

We recruited sixteen current students to work on the Campaign. They were Dara, Jiaxi, Janice, Michael, David, Agathe, Gloria, Ellie, Kerri-Anne, Heulwen, Molly, Frances, Megan, Stephanie, Rose and Charlotte. They very much enjoyed talking to alumni about Christ's and gaining support for the College.

This year, thanks to the generosity of Mr Alfred Harrison (m. 1958), every pound donated in support of our students was worth double to Christ's. Mr Harrison offered to match donations pound for pound and we were delighted that so many alumni responded to this by making their own gift.

Christ's College is committed to providing a first-rate education for our students and opportunities for research that has global reach. Competing internationally to attract the brightest and most able students, regardless of family or financial background, is crucial to our future and reputation.

Each year more than a third of our undergraduates and graduate students receive financial support from the College to enable them to study at Cambridge, at a cost to the College of more than £600,000 last year.

We are grateful to all those who support Christ's College.

What the Callers think

Students' Experiences of the Telephone Campaign

"At Christ's I feel a part of a strong community and this is something I particularly value. I feel that strong links with Alumni is vital to the maintenance of this community feeling. Indeed, one or two of my good friends, with whom I play cricket during the summer, had actually left Christ's before I began and we only met as a result of the regular Old Boys matches that the various sports clubs organise. I see the telephone campaign as an excellent way to ensure the establishment and maintenance of these strong links with old members, both on behalf of the College but perhaps also on a personal level... I think I would find it interesting, stimulating, and enjoyable."

Stephen Harrison m. 2006

"I chatted to some great people, some of whom wrote to me afterwards, and some of whom I’ve since had the chance to meet."

Charlotte Cornish m. 2007

"It was good to have a job in a place which was be useful for my academic studies (easy access to the English Faculty library and the UL). I also liked the chance to give something back to College and try to improve the facilities further for future students."
