Alumni support recent telephone campaign

Regular opportunities to speak with alumni and friends of the University by phone are a key part of our fundraising efforts. These telephone calls allow alumni and friends to hear more about our activities and future plans, as well as raise vital funds in support of the University’s strategic needs.

In March and April 2021, the University of London collaborated with CoAltus, a professional fundraising organisation engaged by the University, to call UoL graduates and friends living in the UK. These phone calls gave alumni the chance to learn more about what is happening at the University, hear about the benefits and services available to them, and have the opportunity to make a donation in support of the University, should they wish to. The campaign also gave our callers, all of whom were University of London current students or recent graduates, a valuable opportunity to speak with our alumni and find out where their degree has taken them.

We would like to say a huge thank you to the 1,200 alumni and friends who took the time to speak with one of our callers, many of whom were members of the former Convocation. We are delighted to report that the campaign also raised over £20,000 in philanthropic gifts. One donor, Alan Prince, made a generous gift towards scholarships, to enable a student to complete their studies without financial worries. An alumnus of the University, Alan was inspired to donate after attributing his degree to helping him in his way through life. We extend a sincere thank you to Alan and to all those who kindly made a donation in support of the University.

If you are happy to be contacted by phone by University students and graduates in future, please ensure that we have your correct contact details by emailing alumni@london.ac.uk or completing our online form: www.alumni.london.ac.uk/ convocation/keep-in-touch
