Book excerpt: This research study sought to better understand what motivates and influences young alumni to engage with their alma mater. For many development and alumni relations departments, alumni have become a source of private funding to assist in the decreased burden of tuition and the cost of attending college. Frequently, alumni who are reached out to are the ones who have given in the past and are in the latter part of their lives. This leaves a gap of alumni who have not been engaged or guided to be the next board member or donor. The young alumni population at Florida International University has been forgotten, and now it is time to understand their characteristics and build a bridge to close the gap. Previous research focused on the traditional engagement for alumni, including those who graduated over ten years. The traditional engagement is defined as those who join the board, attend football games, and give annually. However, young alumni want transparency, and they let their alma mater know that what may matter to the colleges does not necessarily matter to them. However, they want to give back and stay involved in their capacity, not because of board member responsibilities. Therefore, this study sought to explore ways to successfully engage young alumni who were former student leaders and provide insight into how best to establish a relationship between the two entities. I leveraged the social exchange theory for the conceptual baseline using a qualitative research approach. A demographic questionnaire followed by individual interviews with a small sample were analyzed for common themes in characteristics that make former student leaders want to stay involved. Findings helped generate a base understanding of the most engaged students who are now alumni and how their experiences translated to getting them involved as an alumnus. Implications for universities' development and alumni relations, the College of Engineering and Computing, and the Department of Student Success are also discussed.

Book excerpt: Alumni participation in the life of an institution is more important now than ever before as state and federal funding continue to shrink and alumni are called on for financial support and to serve as resources for current students. Institutional leaders are hard-pressed to bring in external revenue to bridge the gap as budgets shrink to successfully balance operational costs (Barr & McClellan, 2011), which is done mostly through fundraising efforts targeted toward parents of students, alumni and often current students before they graduate to establish a culture of philanthropy. This need for external revenue increases the necessity for engaged alumni to assume the increasingly important role of financially supporting their alma maters to maintain financial well-being, both present day and long into the future (Johnson & Eckel, 1998; Monks, 2003; Wunnava & Lauze, 2001). Not all alumni are inclined to remain involved or support their alma maters for a variety of reasons, and alumni relations personnel are tasked with engaging alumni through various opportunities to strengthen their relationship with the institution with the hopeful intent to create prospective lifelong donors (Wunnava & Lauze, 2001). The purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand students perceptions regarding their future role as alumni, their expectations of the institution in facilitating the alumni role, and what they believed would be their relationship with the institution following graduation. The vast majority of research regarding alumni engagement and giving behavior has been quantitative, which sheds light on only part of the phenomenon and limits the general body of knowledge. Quantitative studies have looked at demographic variables of engaged alumni who give back to their alma mater, but such studies have not provided detailed insight into how the student experience affects behavior as alumni and how students develop an understanding of their role as alumni. Qualitative research can help uncover some of the personal beliefs students have about the alumni experience, which will provide a stronger foundation for future quantitative studies as potential hypotheses develop for later testing. At the conclusion of this study, 11 participants completed in-depth interviews through either face-to-face or online interviews, sharing invaluable information regarding their expectations and perceptions regarding life after graduation. This study revealed that graduating seniors perceptions and expectations regarding their role and relationship with their alma mater as alumni remain uncertain due to a lack of knowledge about alumni life. Nonetheless, students shared positive feelings regarding giving and getting involved as alumniespecially in terms of their preference of giving their time over money to the institution. By understanding students perceptions about their anticipated relationship following graduation, institutions can best identify where in the student experience to educate students about their role as alumni and understand what students expect when they become alumni. All of this can be done before they transition to alumnihood in order to tailor services, benefits, and activities to effectively engage alumni in ways they want, meeting both the expectations of the institution and the greater alumni body. As the first qualitative study from the student perspective regarding their anticipated alumni role, relationship with the institution, and inclination to give and get involved, this study provides a salient starting point for determining how best to prepare future alumni for life after graduation.
