We are looking forward to speaking with alumni and friends in the Americas, Asia and Pacific regions between 5 and 13 December 2020.

Follow the updates on this page during the campaign.


Good morning APAC!

Posted by Catherine Quinn, 11/12/2020, 11am BST

After a much-deserved day off to re-set their body clocks, yesterday our student fundraisers began the second strange of our campaign. For the next few days they'll be reaching out to members of the Caius community across Asia and the Pacific. To make sure your contact details are up to date, or to request more information about the Caius Fund, please email sdo@cai.cam.ac.uk.


The Late Nights Begin...

Posted by Catherine Quinn, 06/12/2020, 6.50pm GMT

Good evening/afternoon to our Americas-based alumni from a very misty Cambridge! Winter has certainly set in, so what better excuse to stay in and call some of our alumni overseas to let them know all about recent developments at Caius? Today, Maya, Amrit and Lucas hope to speak to alumni from as far afield as Buenos Aires to Mars! (ok, Mars, Pennsylvania that is!). 

We hope all our alumni enjoy hearing about the latest developments at Caius. If you'd like to update your contact details with us, or if you would prefer not to hear from one of our callers this week, please email Senior Development Officer Catherine Quinn at sdo@cai.cam.ac.uk. 


Day One Complete

After a long day of training our fantastic team of student fundraisers were delighted to speak to several of our alumni in the Americas, securing our first gifts of the Campaign! We hope everyone we managed to speak to this evening enjoyed getting to know Maya, Amrit and Lucas better. 

We'll be back tomorrow at 7.00pm GMT to hear from more members of our Caian family. If you'd like to learn more about the Campaign, or about how to update your details with us, please contact our Senior Development Officer Catherine Quinn.


Caius Calling

Posted by Catherine Quinn, 05/12/2020, 11.27am.

With only a few hours to go before the start of The Caius Fund 2020 End of Year Campaign, we were joined by College Master Dr Pippa Rogerson and Director of Development Dr Maša Amatt, who both offered some words of wisdom and encouragement to launch our student caller training.

Our team of callers will spend most of today getting to know each other, our Development Team colleagues Catherine and Guy, and getting to grips with the fundamentals of telephone campaigns before speaking to some of our alumni in the Americas this evening.
