Phonathon

The Phonathon campaign is an integral part of Mars Hill University’s fundraising efforts. Each semester, 12 to 15 student callers reach out to alumni and friends, hoping to connect with those that walked before them. They want to learn about your life after graduation, seek your advice, and hear what makes you Mars Hill proud.

Student callers will also fill you in on the latest campus happenings, verify your alumni information, and discuss the Mars Hill Fund (Mars Hill’s greatest needs). When you see the “828” area code, please pick up. A student wants to hear your Mars Hill story and provide you with the latest updates.

We can’t wait to talk with you.
