Connecting at Brown (The "C@B")
The C@B, the Brown Annual Fund's student calling center, plays an important role in securing gifts to support the Plan for Academic Enrichment which benefits faculty and students throughout the University. In 2006-2007 student callers raised more than $2 million for Brown. This includes a 17% increase in money raised for the Brown Annual Fund over the previous year.
Brown strives to have personal contact on an annual basis with each of its alumni, parents, and friends, a group that numbers more than 85,000. The students of the C@B have conversations with over 30,000 members of the Brown community each year.
Brown's student callers are proud representatives of the University and enjoy sharing the news from campus with alumni, parents, and friends; receiving feedback from the community on University efforts; and encouraging everyone to participate in the Brown Annual Fund.
Student Callers: In Their Own Words
“The kind words and advice we get from members of the Brown community—alumni, parents, and friends—are invaluable. It is so wonderful to know that as current students, there is a great support system out there for us every time we pick up the phone.”
