Alumni Participation
Why is Alumni Participation Important?
The percentage of graduates who make a charitable donation to Drew each year, known as alumni participation, is one statistic used to evaluate the strength and spirit of universities:
- Corporations and foundations want to know how many graduates support Drew before they will consider awarding a grant. It is an indication of alumni commitment to the university that means their additional investment is worthwhile.
- Alumni participation is seen as a measure of satisfaction in the university, and sends a signal to prospective new students that they may also have a rewarding experience at Drew.
