What We DO
We raise money that is crucial to the lives of our students and faculty every day.
The ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ Phonathon team contacts alumni, parents and friends by phone to build and strengthen important relationships, while inviting their philanthropic support for the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ. These contributions are used to meet the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ's most pressing needs; providing scholarship assistance, maintaining the beautiful campus, renovating and providing new student housing, science labs and classrooms, and providing the resources needed to maintain a world class faculty. Gifts to the ÐÓ°ÉÔ°æ help us maintain Scranton's commitment to social service, small student-to-faculty ratios, need-blind admissions, and tradition of academic excellence.
