Aularian Fund
Telephone Campaign 2020
Meet this year’s team of student callers
This year’s Telephone Campaign will take place over two weeks in December 2020. The team are looking forward to the chance to connect with and learn from their predecessors, and talk about some of the exciting projects we have going on at the Hall.
The ongoing support of alumni is essential to so many aspects of Hall life. In 2019, 1,101 Aularians supported the Hall; over 700 of whom made a regular gift to the Aularian Fund. This allowed us to provide financial support to 25% of undergraduates, refurbish accommodation, award grants for books and field trips, foster Hall Spirit and creativity and connect with over 5,300 secondary school students through our outreach work.
