This past week at K-State has been pretty amazing! Not only did we beat KU! Go Cats!!! But it was also Telefund week! Telefund is where current College of Ag students call Alumni and ask for donations for the College of Agriculture. A majority of the money raised goes to student scholarships, but some also goes to research activities and other projects that are going on at K-State. I had the chance to call for Telefund two nights this year. Telefund has went through some big changes, so this year was a little different. We started at 4:45 p.m. with supper. We then went through some general orientation and training and began making our calls around 6 p.m. Throughout the three hours that we call, we have opportunities to eat different snacks and win prizes. I really enjoyed talking to a lot of the alumni, since they were all very excited to hear about K-State. Also, a lot of the alumni were excited about the KU vs. K-State game that was going to be played later in the week. At the end of the night, I was proud to say I raised over $2500 for the College of Agriculture and came home with a cooler, t-shirt, and water bottle. Not bad for just three hours of calling. Go Cats!!
