UCC Alumni Fónathon 2023

7 Jun 2023

President John O’Halloran recently visited the Alumni and Development offices in the Western Gateway Building, where the Fónathon engagement campaign is currently taking place, and met with students who are working as Fundraising Ambassadors for the campaign. Fónathon 2023 commenced 27 May and lasts until 18 June.

During the Fónathon campaigns, teams of students from a variety of courses, at various stages of their studies, contact graduates by phone to update them on all the latest news from the university and ask them for feedback on our alumni programme. It is also an opportunity for the students to ask graduates about what they’ve been up to since graduating - and perhaps to seek advice on their own career aspirations. 

Donations by UCC’s alumni are used to enhance the student experience, it is former students helping current and future students. The more money that is raised, the more projects UCC is equipped to support. 100% of donations go towards supporting students. Donations can support the following:

  • Sports, music, clubs, societies and skill development activities – all essential components of a healthy university experience.
  • Bursaries for those from under-represented and a wide range of diverse backgrounds.
  • Scholarships for those who are not eligible for support with course fees.
  • Support for student mental health and wellbeing projects.
