Alumni Support

[tornado]

US News just did an exhaustive survey and published their rankings of which schools get the most alumni support..


Princeton is #1 with 62.6% of their alumni giving support (donations)
several other smaller schools fill the #2-10 spots..
Notre Dame is at 50%
Georgetown is at 28%
Marquette 18%
Saint Louis 16%
Loyola 10%

other schools are all ranked but are difficult to find without purchasing a subscription to their college search service...
Anyone know where Bradley fits? Bradley has always ranked high by US news overall - and this ranking does include the input from "alumni support"..

here's your answer - Bradley's alumni giving is at 13% but just a little more support from those who can give would push BU up to a very respectable 20%

I am the 13%!
Not sure why more people don't give, even $50-$100 (which is tax deductable) adds up if everyone did it.

good for you BU05 - I know many of the young grads are still working on building a career and can't give much - but this is something that we can be thankful for our generous "gray-hairs" who take so much guff from some fans but they do love and do support their school.
