Telephone campaigns

Since May 2009, telephone campaigns alone have raised nearly a quarter of a million pounds for OU students and projects.

What is a telephone campaign?

The Development Office holds up to three telephone campaigns per year, at our Walton Hall campus in Milton Keynes. We aim to keep in touch with alumni, share experiences of studying with the OU and seek philanthropic support for the University.
