Heart-warming responses during calling campaign to alumni

From November 18 - December 7, 2019, Delft University Fund, on behalf of TU Delft, called 549 alumni with 12 TU Delft students. The objective of this campaign was two-fold: to strengthen the relationship with our alumni and to check whether they would be interested in making a financial donation to their alma mater.

During this campaign, inspiring phone conversations took place between our students and alumni. They talked about how they fared after their studies, what studying was like at the time and what it's currently like to study at TU Delft. Similarities emerged between then and now and the students got inspired to hear how much the study has brought alumni.

In addition, alumni were asked if and how they were still in contact with the university and what their interests are for such contact. This information provides input for better communication and the events we organise for our alumni.

Almost half of the alumni indicated that they are willing to make a financial contribution to Delft University Fund in order to stimulate ground-breaking research and innovative projects with great social impact.

After the campaign, all alumni we spoke to received a personal letter from Delft University Fund and a handwritten postcard from the student they spoke to.

We are pleased to hear that many alumni are proud of their alma mater and, together, we are looking forward to create an extra boost for impactful research at TU Delft!
