The Ex went to Dartmouth-- Most of D's giving is directly related to your graduating class. A majority of the calls for giving were made by his classmates who volunteered to call on one another. I remember the Ex calling his classmates, making notes on all the standard milestones of the classmate and asking for a donation and checking on matching funds from their employer. The notes on the classmate were then sent on to the Class Secretary and corraled in some fashion into the Alumni Magazine. Same thing happened in some fashion for me my other Ivy League schools and even Iowa. When I was working at Wayne State, we had students and faculty-- and occasionally volunteer alumni call for pledges. Dr. Doug gets that as well from UCLA and USC... So I'd be less likely to believe your school is outsourcing. The news and info an Alumni can give to the caller is as valuable as the donation. If they're out sourcing, they are missing the boat. Nice to see you back on your feet-- Grandpa. Mary Lu Doc,

Here’s my Alumni Giving Experiences over the years…

The Ex went to Dartmouth– Most of D’s giving is directly related to your graduating class. A majority of the calls for giving were made by his classmates who volunteered to call on one another. I remember the Ex calling his classmates, making notes on all the standard milestones of the classmate and asking for a donation and checking on matching funds from their employer. The notes on the classmate were then sent on to the Class Secretary and corraled in some fashion into the Alumni Magazine.

Same thing happened in some fashion for me my other Ivy League schools and even Iowa.

When I was working at Wayne State, we had students and faculty– and occasionally volunteer alumni call for pledges. Dr. Doug gets that as well from UCLA and USC…

So I’d be less likely to believe your school is outsourcing. The news and info an Alumni can give to the caller is as valuable as the donation. If they’re out sourcing, they are missing the boat.

Nice to see you back on your feet– Grandpa.

I spent a lot of time chatting with alums, telling them about the new buildings, which professors were still around, etc. Those conversations almost always ended with a "gift." Glad to hear on a recent call to me that they still do it that way. But I agree with Kathleen that schools should be more open to ideas and opportunities that can flow from alums, not just cash.

How sad that sucessful graduates are asked for money instead of ideas. They enabled you to succeed, they should be taking advantage of your talents. Meanwhile, in another office, a professor is racking his brain trying to think of ways to make his lessons come alive and inspire the next generation of students. Kathleen You are 100% correct.

This post made me realize that it also relate to non-profits, which is my area. Have to give it more thoughts. Hanan Doc,

All the time I thought of your VRM thing as related to commercial organizations.

This post made me realize that it also relate to non-profits, which is my area.

Have to give it more thoughts.
