THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW HAVEN’S HILL FUND
The Hill Fund, the University’s Annual Fund, exceeded its goals this past year, a strong
indication of the buzz that surrounds the exponential growth of campus facilities and
programs.
“We talked to many alumni and parents who are thrilled about what’s happening to
the campus,” says Scott Davis, the inimitable director of the Hill Fund, the University’s
Annual Fund. “The Smart Classrooms, New Hall, the plaza behind Bartels Hall, the
campus center, the renovations to the Marvin K. Peterson Library, and the new
David A. Beckerman Recreation Center – there’s just so much going on. They
see the changes, and they have contributed mightily to the growth.”
Davis also credits the exemplary work of his student callers, who work at the Hill
Fund’s Phonathon.
“The callers who worked for the Phonathon the past few years have been
amazing,” he says. “They understand how important fund raising is to the University,
and know how to communicate this to our alumni and parents. Their enthusiasm
is contagious.”
Students are helping in other ways as well. In the Senior Challenge, in which Agents
from the Class of 2007 were asked to solicit small gifts from graduating seniors,
nearly $500 was raised for the David A. Beckerman Recreation Center.
