The Phone Room is a call center that allows Clark to stay connected with alumni, parents and friends. It also serves as a major fundraising tool for the University.
Each academic year, about 25 student callers contact close to 20,000 Clark alumni, parents and friends in an effort to raise funds that go towards funding scholarships, enhancing programs and recruiting new faculty. Twenty percent of all money donated to The Clark Fund, comes in via the Phone Room.
Over the years the Phone Room has generated millions of dollars from valuable Clark alumni, parents and friends. In the last five years the phone room averages about $475,000 per fiscal year. In Fiscal Year 2007, (Ended May 31, 2007) the Phone Room raised $458,115.87 in gifts and pledges.
The Phone Room also keeps alumni connected with Regional Alumni Events sponsored by Clark's Alumni Association. Clark has strong Regional Communities in Worcester, Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, South Florida, Los Angeles, Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area, to name a few.
The Fundraising Season kicks off in mid-September and will go until early December. After Winter Break, the campaign will continue through the winter months and into the spring, ending in late May.
