PASS IT ON

Phonathon 2009 will be here before you know it! During Phonathon 2008, more than $34,000 in pledges was received from our loyal Alumni. Making calls during the months of February, March, and April, out Alumni volunteers and student callers will be working diligently to contact over 13,000 alumni to update information, connect with campus news, and seek financial support. With a record enrollment of 3,300 strong, the need for financial aid has never been greater. Making even a small donation will go a long way towards making the goal of a college education a reality for CSU students. If you would like to save a call, contact David Weiss in the Alumni Office at 843-863-7516 or at alumni@csuniv.edu and get your 2008-2009 annual pledge in early!

ALUMNI MENTORING

Become an Alumni Mentor through CAN (Career Advisory Network)

Once an alumnus is established in the world of work, many are eager to provide assistance to other members of the Charleston Southern regarding career concerns. CAN was developed with this in mind.

Upon your return to campus, there will be many mentoring options for helping CSU students, including:

• Interviewing candidates for job openings or bringing resumes back to your organization and advocating on behalf of our students
• Presenting to career planning class to providing informational sessions about your company, jobs and/or internships available, and career opportunities
• Addressing classes and/or presenting to relevant student organizations about careers with your company
• Speaking with students over the phone or at lunch
