This is USF calling. The purpose of the calls is to reconnect with alumni and parents of students attending the University. I worked there when i was in college. Money raised helps finance many scholarships, fellowships, chairs, professorships, and many other important things the university. Whether or not you make a donation, remember that the callers are current students just trying to do something for USF. Be patient with them. Personally, I used to not mind giving them a donation, and I had already shelled out a ton of money as an out of state student!
