Meet the callers

Current Liverpool students are calling alumni as part of the annual Alumni and Friends Fund telephone campaign. We spoke to some our student caller team to find out why they chose to be part of the campaign and what it is like to speak to our alumni.

Ruiya (3rd year, Law)

"I am gaining invaluable skills in communicating with alumni and learning about their experiences, all while making an impact and bettering the university experience for my peers. While the reasons people take certain jobs are endless; necessity, ambition, skills etc, there is one fundamental underlying reason that we become student fundraisers – we want to make a difference in the University of Liverpool.”

Bethany (1st year, Psychology)

"I am really interested in conversing with University alumni, to hear their post-graduation stories (employment, further study, travel), and be inspired by their success. Studying in a vibrant city like Liverpool has been a thoroughly exciting experience; university campus has so many picturesque spots to study and socialise. For this reason, I am looking forward to helping the University raise funding for new opportunities for growth, new learning facilities, student experiences and scholarships.”

Tiffany (3rd year, Law)

"As a student myself, I enjoy speaking to alumni on their prior experience at the University, there is much to learn from them on their pathway after graduating and how the University braced them for the working world. The opportunity to raise money for the Student Experience Fund is a great contribution to the student community. Being able to provide students facing financial hardship with more emergency grant aligns with my values and is one of the causes I would like to further through being a fundraiser.”

About the campaign 

The Alumni and Friends Fund telephone campaign is not only a great way for us to stay in touch, but our current students also gain a lot from speaking to graduates. Thank you to everyone who has already taken a call. If you would like to recieve a call on a future telephone campaign or would like more information on the Alumni and Friends Fund please email: giving@liverpool.ac.uk.

I am really proud to be a part of the University of Liverpool, and helping the institution which has equipped me with tools to achieve my dreams is a way to give back to a community that has supported me along my journey.
