虽然归属感一直是理解学生在高等教育中取得成功的一个重要结构，但它尚未在校友背景下进行研究。在本文中，我们探讨研究生的归属感和校友参与之间的关联。我们利用了一个原始数据集（n = 1，601），该数据集结合了校友捐赠的行政记录和2017年调查的数据。通过多变量分析，我们发现归属感越强的校友越有可能为阿尔马捐款，并持有支持慈善的态度。此外，归属感与其他形式的校友参与和参与（包括志愿服务）呈正相关。我们的研究结果强调，有必要研究无意的社会交往和校友参与和给予之间的联系。
Although Sense of Belonging has long been an important construct in understanding student success in higher education, it has not been examined in the alumni context. In this article, we explore the association between graduate students' Sense of Belonging and alumni engagement. We draw on an original data set (n = 1,601) that combines administrative records on alumni giving and data from a 2017 survey. Using multivariate analyses, we show that alumni with a stronger Sense of Belonging are more likely to give to their alma mater and to hold pro-philanthropic attitudes. Furthermore, Sense of Belonging is positively associated with other forms of alumni engagement and participation, including volunteering. Our findings highlight the need to examine the link between unintentional social interactions and alumni engagement and giving.
