The phonathon callers are students from all over campus that are employed part-time by OCU. More often than not, the phonathon students are the only voice of OCU the alumni hear, therefore, these students play a vital role in alumni communication.

The Assistant Director of Development and Alumni Relations supervises the students. The program runs 6 weeks out of the year, calling four nights each week, Monday to Thursday.

Students' incentives include:

• gift certificates and prizes to those who continually bring in additional funds, (a little friendly competition with their peers),

• flexible schedule,

• friendly atmosphere, and

• the feeling of helping their university raise funds for scholarships, research, and faculty support.
