Bearcat Chat - Alumni and Parent Outreach

Made up of 24 dedicated Willamette students, Bearcat Chat's mission is to connect alumni, parents and friends back to Willamette.  Being a member of the Bearcat Chat team means sharing WU stories, learning WU history from those who lived it and learning what being a Bearcat is all about.  Bearcat Chat team members also verify alumni records, provide updates on campus news and events and request an investment in today's students and professors.  Our team holds nearly 8,000 individual conversations each year.  The financial support received through Bearcat Chat directly impacts all students and professors across Willamette's colleges.

Bearcat Chat accepts applications throughout the year for the position of Bearcat Chat caller. You must be a current student to apply (any college).  To be considered, please download and complete the application. Email your completed application to telefundapplication@willamette.edu.
