Telephone Campaign 2024

We are happy to share exciting news about the upcoming Magdalene College Telephone Campaign, taking place 16-28 March. The Telephone Campaign, an annual tradition, is crucial in not only connecting to our global Magdalene community but also in seeking essential fundraising for the College and our students.

Celebrating 300 Years of Legacy: The Pepys Library Restoration Project

This year, our focus is on something truly special – the 300th anniversary of the Pepys Library arriving at Magdalene. The Pepys Building that houses the library, a symbol of our rich history and a Grade 1 Listed national treasure, is set to undergo an ambitious restoration. We invite you to be a part of this historic milestone by supporting the Pepys Library Restoration Project.

Global Reconnection: Our Student Callers Reach Out

During the campaign, a dedicated team of Magdalene students will be reaching out to alumni and friends worldwide. Their mission is to provide updates on College life and to share insights into our priorities and ongoing projects. Expect enjoyable, informative conversations which reconnect you to all things Magdalene.

Respecting Your Time: Opt-Out or Donate in Advance

We understand that your time is valuable. If you are due to receive a call, the Alumni and Development team will contact you beforehand, giving you the option to either opt out or make a donation in advance. Your preferences matter, and we want to ensure your experience with the Telephone Campaign is both positive and meaningful.

Meet Our Exceptional Student Callers

Our student callers are the backbone of this campaign. Passionate about representing Magdalene, they are eager to share College updates, talk about life at Magdalene, and discuss shared experiences. Most importantly, they will extend an invitation to support your College and our fundraising priorities. However, the Telephone Campaign is more than just fundraising; it's about building and strengthening our community. Your guidance, stories, advice, and insights are invaluable to our students as they navigate their academic and professional journeys.

Transformative Gifts for a Brighter Tomorrow

This year, we are concentrating our efforts on three core priorities: Student Welfare and Mental Health, Undergraduate and Postgraduate Support, and the Pepys Restoration Project. Your generous donations have a huge impact, enabling us to provide essential support, ensuring that the brightest minds can pursue their studies at Magdalene free from financial anxiety and constraints, and protect the history and heritage of the College.

How You Can Support in Advance

If you wish to support the 2024 campaign in advance, we invite you to complete the online donation form. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a real and lasting difference to current and future generations of Magdalene students.

Thank you for being a vital part of the Magdalene College family. We look forward to your support and the opportunity to connect during the Telephone Campaign.
