Looking for a way to make extra money this semester? Become a Rockhurst Phonathon caller. This team of students helps Rockhurst University stay connected with the many alumni, donors, parents and friends who support our mission. You’ll be making calls to ask for updated contact information, answer questions and encourage support of The Rockhurst Fund - a fund that provides financial support for scholarships, library resources, campus maintenance, technology services, student activities, athletics, faculty development, and the overall Rockhurst student experience.

There are two ways you can participate in Phonathon:

• Individual Option
• Group Option

Individual Option

As an individual Phonathon caller, you have the flexibility to set your own schedule. Even if you have another on-campus job, you can still earn some extra cash as a Phonathon caller! Apply today. A staff member will contact you with next steps. You may apply whether or not you qualify for Federal Work Study.

Group Option

Earn money for your on-campus organization! Are you part of a group that needs funds to travel to conferences? Maybe your group needs to purchase equipment, host an event or fund other initiatives? Rally 15 members to cover Phonathon shifts together and you'll be paid the cash you need to support your group's efforts!

Learn more about the group option by contacting Becky Sanchez at rebecca.sanchez@rockhurst.edu or 816-501-4431.
