Confucian Ideals, Western Concepts, or Both
Fundraising from and engaging with alumni, once synonymous with American higher education, has gained momentum worldwide. However, we know little about how potential donors receive this practice. This article investigates how Chinese students—or future alumni—think about their responsibility to support their alma mater. We analyzed a survey of students in a large public research university in Beijing , estimating the role of Confucian moral ideal…
Critiquing and expanding HebCrit
This manuscript critiques, explores, expands, and applies HebCrit, a theoretical framework designed to address antisemitism by adapting Critical Race Theory (CRT) to the unique experiences and identities of diverse Jewish communities.

Breaking Stereotypes About Alumni Donors
Institutions of higher education are relying on philanthropy and fundraising at a greater level than ever before seen. This increased focus has led scholars to investigate various predictors regarding which alumni are likely to give and which are likely to give the most. To date, however, scholars have not yet examined the role of timing and when alumni give their first gift to their alma mater. Using discrete-time hazard modeling (DTHM), this pa…
In “Alma Mater” We Trust? Exploring Attitudes toward Institutions and Alumni Giving
Background/Context Government support for higher education has decreased over the past few decades. In turn, institutions are seeking alternative sources of funding and increasing reliance on alumni giving. Although trust is important to social institutions and nonprofits, we know little about the role of trust in alumni engagement. Purpose/Objective/Research Question/Focus of Study We empirically assess the association between trust and philanth…
Philanthropic Mirroring
Scholars have long documented the intersection between social identity and experiences within higher education. However, we know very little about the role of social identity in shaping alumni engagement with their alma mater, specifically through philanthropic giving. Building upon social identity and social distance theories and the identity-based motivation model, I developed a philanthropic mirroring framework that posits that alumni engageme…

A Maverick in the Field
The Oram firm was really a different animal. We cherished a strong anticorporate corporate culture, we were cause-driven, and we served liberal and left-wing counter-cultural organizations. Since its founding in 1939, the Oram Group has been a maverick in the field of fundraising, lending its expertise to the areas of education, welfare, social action, civil rights, the arts, and the environment. Beginning with the organization's founder, Harold …
