Second Century Endowment Campaign - Alumni phone program begins
NSAC's very first Phonathon program to call all alumni kicked off Monday, February 7th, 2005. After initial training, students will be calling all NSAC alumni that can be reached by phone, to ask them to support the Second Century Endowment Campaign..

Increasing the size of the endowment is a major priority for NSAC. Currently less than ten per cent of our scholarships come from endowed funding. The rest is from annually funded sources and therefore vulnerable to cancellation. NSAC ranks 71 out of 73 Universities and Colleges reporting in terms of the size of its endowment fund. The phone campaign is just one of several initiatives planed to raise money for the endowment fund. Over the next three years, NSAC hopes to increase the percentage of scholarship funding generated from the endowment to 30 per cent and greatly improve our ranking compared to other Universities.

The call centre will operate from 5:15pm until 9:15 pm, Sunday through Thursday until all 5000 calls have been made. Any questions or for more information please contact Jim Goit at JGoit@nsac.ns.ca
