The Alumni Fund Calling Team

The Alumni Fund Calling Team is made up of current Sheffield students. They are committed and enthusiastic about the Alumni Fund, and the different projects that money is raised for. They are extremely interested and dedicated to finding out as much as they can about the University and the former students that worked hard to graduate from Sheffield.

The callers are the heartbeat of the Alumni Fund, and without them the relationships between the University and our alumni would be lost. For many graduates the telephone campaign will be the only direct link between yourself and the University so please make the most of your opportunity to talk to them.

Student Caller: Rachael Treharne
I study Biology and originally chose Sheffield for the excellent reputation of both my department and the Students’ Union.

Even in the past two years I’ve studied here...
