The Phonathon is a student calling program that connects current students to UAF Alumni and Friends. The Phonathon program raises support for the University and builds life-long relationships.

UAF’s Spring Phonathon is off to a great start.  This is the first time that UAF has conducted a spring phonathon. Students are calling alumni based on their college or school affiliation and asking for the support of that school or college.
