HALLmarks Telephone Campaign 2024

Meet our team of student callers

The 2024 HALLmarks Telephone Campaign is taking place over two weeks from 11 to 25 March. As a team of student callers, we hope to connect with and learn from our predecessors, as well as talk about the HALLmarks Campaign.

Involvement from our Aularian community makes Teddy Hall the place it is today. Last year, over 1,000 Aularians generously supported the Hall, and your vital donations have enabled us to provide financial assistance to around 20% of undergraduates. As part of the call, we hope to give a first-hand account of the different ways the Hall plans to support us further.

For more information, please contact the Development & Alumni Relations Office E: development.office@seh.ox.ac.uk T: +44 1865 279041.

You can also make a donation securely online here.
