CityU students call alumni in Telephone Affinity Campaign to strengthen affinity and to solicit their caring support to their alma mater. A final-year student caller and now a fresh graduate Suzie Chan, was grateful to the University which offered her joyful experience in alumni fundraising, “The alumni I contacted shared so much with me over phone and encouraged me to strive for my dream career. I’ve transferred the phone skills learned for job interviews as well.” As Suzie farewells her University life in CityU, she obliged to support her alma mater as a caring alumnus.

CityU Telephone Affinity Campaign continues every Summer and Fall to extend the University’s connection to alumni. A team of devoted student callers are pleased to contact Alumni Giving Club members and invite them to join hands and celebrate the Alumni Giving Club 10th Anniversary. Eligible members could enjoy special bonus privilege and celebrate this festive occasion with CityU!
