Hi: As I'd mentioned in the conversation message I'd sent you a few days ago, we certainly can remove you from the phonathon list. Just send me your full name and location and I can take you off.

They're hard workers, those phonathon students. It's definitely not the way a lot of people like to be contacted, and I get it, but it's a valuable lesson in persistence and growing a tough skin, for sure.

The reason phonathon's been around so long--as a previous commenter mentioned, it's been around for years and years--is because there are many others who enjoy a personal phone call from a current student and prefer to be solicited that way. I've heard many stories of students having long conversations with people they've called, telling them what they're majoring in, what campus is like, etc., and in return hearing about their memories of campus. And that makes the job rewarding for both the students and the people they call, in the long run.

But we certainly don't want to alienate you or contact you in ways you'd prefer not to be contacted. So let me know!
