Factors Leading Alumni of Public Universities to Financially Contribute to Their Alma Mater
Aslinger, Timothy Andrew
ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Trevecca Nazarene University
This study explored the relationship between student engagement, alumni engagement, potential for alumni engagement, perception, biographic factors, and inclination to give. The researcher surveyed alumni from a medium-sized public university, who earned an undergraduate degree from the institution between 2000 and 2009. A strong relationship was found between alumni engagement and inclination to give, a moderate relationship between perception and giving inclination, and a weak relationship between student engagement and inclination to give. The study did not reveal a significant relationship between age, gender, marital status, and inclination to give. These results lead the researcher to recommend institutions invest in alumni relations programming. The researcher recommends future studies explore additional factors including ethnicity, employment, location, and other biographic factors.
