Albertus Magnus College Again Dials-Up Calling Campaign of Caring
Faculty and Staff Make “Check-in” Calls to All of College’s Students
Albertus Magnus College continues to be committed to promoting the health and welfare of its community members, and once again the College’s faculty and staff are conducting a Calling Campaign of Caring to all of the 1,500 students at the Catholic, Dominican college, which is celebrating its 95th Anniversary this year. Starting October 21, students will receive a “check in” call, as they did last spring when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the remainder of the semester to be conducted entirely on-line.
The Calling Campaign of Caring is exactly what the name suggests – a call from the Albertus Community – faculty and staff volunteers, including Albertus President Dr. Marc M. Camille – extending a compassionate, listening ear and a reassuring message of care.
“An Albertus Magnus College education is strengthened by close mentoring relationships between faculty, staff, and students, and our core values call us to commit to the holistic success and well-being of every student. The dedicated faculty and staff stepping up to volunteer to make these caring phone calls fills me with pride and gratitude. Simply stated, we want our students to know we care, and we want to be proactive in addressing issues and obstacles they might be facing in these continued challenging times, in their time of need,” said Dr. Camille.
For this fall’s Calling Campaign of Caring, more than 80 faculty and staff have volunteered to make the calls. The Campaign begins with the College’s 575 traditional undergraduates and then will move to its 1,000 adult undergraduate and graduate learners. Follow-up contacts will be made accordingly.
