Student Caller

The Office of Annual Giving is looking for the best students on campus to work with our Student Calling Program! As a student caller, you will have the opportunity to gain valuable experience that you can add to your résumé while you help make a difference for Millsaps. In addition to sales and marketing experience, you will develop organizational, business, and interpersonal skills. The starting salary is among the highest paid on campus and with experience, callers can make as much as $9.00 an hour! Best of all, you will have the convenience of working on campus in the Institutional Advancement office in Whitworth Hall.

We will be carefully choosing students for the 15 openings available this fall. Those hired will assist the Annual Giving staff by calling Millsaps alumni, friends, and parents and asking them to support the Millsaps Annual Fund.

If working as a student caller interests you, please e-mail Jenna Lee Jones at jennalee.jones@millsaps.edu by Friday, August 24.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Sincerely,

Jenna Lee Jones

Assistant Director of Annual Giving
