SOR
Student Outreach Representatives
Our Student Outreach Representatives are current UWL students dedicated to connecting with alumni and friends of the university. Our team of 17 students call, email, and text UWL supporters each spring and fall semester on behalf of the UWL Foundation. Each day they work to reach thousands of alumni, parents, employees, and friends of UWL: delivering the latest campus news, updating contact information, and inviting donors to make a gift in support of students is their mission.
Who do we contact?
Our student specialists try to connect with as many alumni and friends of UWL as they can. Additionally, they call parents of current and former UWL students, current and retired employees and friends of the university.
Want to be an SOR? Applications open May 1, 2024 for the 2024-2025 school year.
