Our Telethon student callers during Spring 2024 campaign

We truly appreciate every application, and the time candidates invest in expressing their interest. Due to the high volume of submissions, we’re only able to contact those who are shortlisted for the next stage. If you don’t hear from us after the closing date (15 October 2025), please know that your application has not been successful at this stage—but we’re truly grateful for your interest and wish you every success in your studies.

^{I would love to continue my role as a telethon caller. Thank you for your support during the campaigns, I feel like my confidence has really grown and it's great to be part of such a lovely team and knowing that we are fundraising for something so important!}

I was an international student, and I loved to hear about the experiences of the alumni here at Bangor. Most of them met people from all over the world and it is very interesting to know how some are still in contact and are meeting regularly. Hopefully, I will stay in contact with my friends from Bangor too.

I thoroughly enjoyed talking to our alumni. Everyone had such fun and unique stories and it’s such a pleasure to have had the opportunity to hear about their time and memories of Bangor.

Why Get Involved?

Joining our student calling campaign team is more than just a job. It's your opportunity to be part of something meaningful and impactful.

As a student caller, you’ll help bridge the gap between today’s students and the generations of alumni who came before you. Through friendly, purposeful conversations, you’ll update them on university life, spark memories of their own time here, and encourage them to support projects that matter and directly enhance student life — making it possible for the university to provide bursaries, placement grants, scholarships, new equipment for clubs and societies, well-being programmes, employability activities, and many other forms of support that add meaningful value to the student experience.
