Who is calling me . . . a telemarketing company?

Call-A-Coug staff consists entirely of current WSU students. They make calls on behalf of WSU and the WSU Foundation, gaining valuable work experience and building their communication skills. The program gives YOU an opportunity to share your WSU stories and experiences, ask questions, voice concerns, give feedback, and pledge support to WSU priorities and pressing needs.

Why am I getting calls and texts?

Call-A-Coug’s objective is to touch base with each of our alumni, parents, and friends annually in the ways that make the most sense for them.

Call-A-Coug students may utilize calling, text messaging, or emails to connect with you during the year.

Why should I give to Washington State University?

Your support empowers Washington State University to serve its land-grant mission to the state and provide life-changing education for all students. Philanthropy at WSU enhances the student experience by supporting a world-class education, enriching programs, improving access to education, and retaining top faculty. WSU students and faculty are working hard to provide solutions for many of our region’s and nation’s pressing issues – you can support their progress through generous donations.

When can I expect your call?

Calls are made Sunday through Thursday in the afternoons and evenings. Call-A-Coug will try to reach everyone during the academic year between late August and early May.

From where are you calling?
