In der vorliegenden fünften Ausgabe des Alumni-Magazins nehmen wir das Thema "Forschung" auf und berichten in Auszügen über die vielfältige Forschungslandschaft an der Universität heute. Neben ausgewählten Forschungsprojekten erfahren Sie auch mehr über die Förderung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses sowie die enge und sichtbare Zusammenarbeit mit der (regionalen) Wirtschaft. Das Titelthema bestimmt auch das Leben einiger unserer Alumni. Stellvertretend haben wir sieben von ihnen für das Magazin porträtiert. Zu Wort kommen unter anderem der Leipziger Meteorologe Professor Johannes Quaas, der in den kommenden fünf Jahren vom Europäischen Forschungsrat mit einem hoch dotierten Stipendium gefördert wird, der Trendforscher Sven Gábor Jánszky, der mit visionären Zukunftsreden ein breites Publikum begeistert und inspiriert sowie die Niedersächsische Ministerin für Wissenschaft und Kultur Professor Johanna Wanka, die in ihrer heutigen Funktion Wissenschaft mitgestaltet, regelt und verändert.

In der vorliegenden sechsten Ausgabe des Alumni-Magazins nehmen wir das Thema "Bildungscampus Leipzig" in den Fokus und geben einen Überblick über die derzeitigen Entwicklungen an der Universität. Daneben berichten wir auch über aktuelle Forschungsprojekte und lassen Experten zu Wort kommen. Doch was bedeutet es wirklich, Lehrer zu werden? Die Entscheidung für den Lehrerberuf kann viele Gründe haben. Wir haben neun Alumni gefragt und porträtieren ihre Lebenswege.

Das vorliegende Alumni-Magazin 2016 beschäftigt sich mit der fruchtbringenden Wechselwirkung zwischen Universität Leipzig und Stadt Leipzig und geht der Frage nach, auf welche Weise sich die Universität und die Stadt Leipzig an Schnittstellen wie Bildung, Wirtschaft, Kultur, Tourismus und Stadtgesellschaft gegenseitig bereichern.

Im Alumni-Magazin 2017 möchten wir Ihnen an verschiedenen Beispielen zeigen, wie die Universität Leipzig der Vielfalt ihrer Mitglieder Rechnung trägt und sie gewinnbringend zu nutzen weiß.

Master of Science / Department of Journalism and Mass Communications / Robert C. Pearce / The K-State Alumni Association has the highest percentage of graduates in the Big 12 who are members of the association. As a result, there is a strong network of alumni spanning more than 150,000 living alumni internationally and throughout the United States. This project seeks to utilize the relationship management theory to review current marketing strategies and develop new strategies to increase retention rates of alumni to the association after their one free year of membership, a gift provided to undergraduate students by their perspective college. The focus of the relationship management theory is about building personal relationships, which is in line with the K-State Alumni Association’s mission statement, “Enhancing our Kansas State University family through lifelong involvement.” The recommendations were created to assist the efforts of the Alumni Association to continue to reach out to alumni to meet them where they are at by utilizing media and new programs.

Thesis advisor: Philip G. Altbach / This qualitative case study examines the importance of men's intercollegiate athletics for alumni giving at Boston College for a 10-year period, based on the perceptions of 21 Boston College administrators and alumni. This study explores how athletics at Boston College engages alumni in ways that may eventually lead to their financial support of the institution. The findings reveal that study participants perceive football and men's basketball as a major source of engagement for the University's alumni that outrank other alumni activities in terms of reconnecting graduates with the institution. Further, participants support the existence of a relationship between men's intercollegiate athletics and general alumni giving at Boston College, although at varying levels of impact. The findings from this study suggest that engagement with athletic activities and events may serve as the conduit to general alumni giving that supports a host of programs and initiatives that aid the institution in its position as a national research university. Major findings focus on five areas regarding the relationship between men's intercollegiate athletics and general alumni giving at Boston College: the importance of general alumni giving, why alumni give, the importance of men's intercollegiate athletics, what engages alumni, and the influence of men's intercollegiate athletics on general alumni giving. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2010. / Submitted to: Boston College. Lynch School of Education. / Discipline: Educational Leadership and Higher Education.

The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a relationship among selected demographic variables and donor or nondonor status of alumni and employees at the participating university. The variables involving alumni were gender, highest degree earned, and college of major study. The variables regarding employees were gender and position. The study was conducted using archived alumni data from the Alumni Association’s database program and the archived employee data from the Office of Human Resources’ database program. The population for this study consisted of the 76,728 alumni and the 2,279 full-time employees of a mid-sized southeastern university during the fiscal year 2009-2010. The results of the data analysis gave insight into what degree alumni and employees gave back to their university and place of employment. For example, 3.9% of alumni were found to be donors while 18.4% of employees were shown to be donors. The percentage of alumni who donated increased with each advanced degree earned. Males in both categories, alumni and employees, donated at a higher percentage than females. In the employee category, faculty were shown to donate at a higher percentage than administrators or staff. The study provided an increase in the body of knowledge of the variables of alumni giving and employee giving at the participating university.

The percentage of alumni who donate to their university has been declining for more than 25 years. This paper applies the proven theory of planned behavior to shed new insight on what factors influence alumni's decision whether or not to donate to their university. Nearly 1,500 non-donor alumni of a large, mid-Atlantic research university were surveyed. The study found that 36.6% of the difference in intent to donate was explained by a combination of attitudes, beliefs about what other people do or think should be done, perceptions of control, past donation behavior to other nonprofits, experience while in college, and ongoing communication with the university. Several elements, including attitudes, beliefs about what others do or think should be done, and rating of communication effectiveness had significant effects on alumni's intent to donate. Both theoretical and practical implications are discussed. / Master of Arts / The percentage of alumni who donate to their university has been declining for more than 25 years.
