Student Philanthropy Outreach Center
About Student Outreach Representatives
At the UWL Alumni & Friends Foundation, students are at the center of everything we do. We feel that having them as a part of our team is essential to learning how to better serve all students and advance the institution as a whole.
Our Student Philanthropy Outreach Center (SPOC) is a group of current UWL students dedicated to engaging with fellow students, alumni, and friends of the university. There are two distinct groups within our Student Philanthropy Outreach Center:
- Solicitation Team - these students call, email, and text UWL alumni and friends each semester to share the latest campus news, update contact information, and invite donors to make a gift in support of UWL students. Questions about our Solicitation Team? Contact Lauren
- Connecting Team - these students engage their peers in the work of the Foundation, collaborate with student organizations on fundraising initiatives, support stewardship efforts, and offer event support. Questions about our Connecting Team? Contact Kendall
