It is run out of Snyder Hall, a residence hall in the Ikenberry Commons on campus. Students and staff volunteer to take calls around the clock for one week straight, every year during finals week of every Fall semester.[1] As of 2015 Dial-A-Carol entered its 56th season,[2] in which it garnered national attention from sources such as ABC News,[3] and Jimmy Kimmel Live.[4] USA Today College wrote that Dial-A-Carol shattered previous records by receiving over 10,000 calls in 2015 for one-week span.[5] HistoryDial-a-Carol is the longest running tradition in the university's housing department. Betty Gordon, a desk clerk at the time for Snyder Hall on campus, is commonly credited with conceiving of the Dial-a-Carol idea around 1960. She came up with the idea for students on the second floor of Snyder Hall to play holiday records over the phone. By 1962, students were already answering more than 4,000 calls. Soon, student carolers replaced records and now sing for callers from all 50 states and around the world. Critical ReceptionIn December 2015, Jimmy Kimmel made a spoofed televised segment of Dial-a-Carol with "Hanu-kall-the singing Hanukkah Hotline". This massive attention garnered more callers, which resulted in the all-time highest recorded year in call volume. Many local and international radio stations also featured Dial-a-Carol calls on their programs.
