What is Phonathon?
The Phonathon program plays a vital role in Ithaca College’s success. Under the guidance of the Philanthropy & Engagement Relations Office, we employ around 25-30 students and provide them with training to call alumni, parents, and friends of the college. Our goals include updating contact details, collecting employment data, fostering relationships, and raising funds for Ithaca College. Your support directly contributes to enhancing technology, student services, and other features that define our exceptional college.
