Help Hillsdale College fundraise by volunteering for the Parents Phonathon. Held every semester before Parents Weekend, the schedule includes:

  • 6:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.– Sunday night training dinner
  • 10 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. – Training – FIRST DAY ONLY
  • 4:45 p.m. – 5:45 p.m. – Dinner served
  • 6:00 – 9:30 p.m. – Parents calling parents

If you need a room at the Dow Center, the College will provide that at no cost to you for each night that you work. We will also provide your meals at the cafeteria if you spend the night. Please plan to come for all four nights. You will also be first in line to reserve a Dow Center room for Parents Weekend, which is immediately following the Phonathon.
