So during the game last night

[tenureplan]

I got a fundraising call. I screened it and didn't answer because the game was on. I'm just wondering why the hell I'm getting a call to ask me to spend more money on athletics from someone that should have been at the game.

Was it a MSU academic fundraising call or athletics?

 

[tenureplan]

Didnt leave a message so I couldnt say

 

[dawgstudent]

Pretty sure it was academic which I don't necessarily fault. They are student workers who are given a list to call during their work shift.

Hail State Giving Days are today and tomorrow. It was likely from the MSU Foundation in an effort to promote that.

Since I told them that the person they are calling for “passed away,” the calls have pretty much stopped.

I just called the Foundation, asked to speak to the Director, and told him if they didn't take my number off their call list I was going to quit making an annual donation. The calls stopped.

While in grad school, the college solicited me for donations to help with scholarships. All while I paid out of pocket for grad school. Makes perfect sense.

 

[vhdawg]

I never ever get those calls. I must be living right.

Makes sense. A look at my Alumni Calendar shows tomorrow is MSU's 141st Birthday.
