“…Higher education institutions in Thailand, Austria, and Australia also seek foreign students in order to create an international environment for students and faculty members, to compensate for the declining government funding and to strengthen the local economy through export education (Dredge, Benckendorff, Day, Gross, Walo, Weeks, Whitelaw, 2013;Wisansing, J. 2008;Zehrer, Lichtmannegger, 2008). This means that a majority of the international students probably will return to their home countries, and may not return to their alma maters.…”

A growing supporting and involving alumni group is one of the critical components of a quality hospitality management program. Universities increasingly count on their alumni to make monetary and non-monetary contributions. Yet, different generational alumni's intentions to make non-monetary contributions, such as participating in activities and social events, have not been thoroughly examined. Through an online alumni survey (N = 566, response rate 7%), this research identified different generational alumni's intentions to get involved in activities and social events. Our research findings indicated that alumni have the lowest intentions to make financial contributions. Alternatively, alumni have high intentions to become a local chapter member, become a school ambassador, participate in class reunions, and in chapter events. ANOVA and Tukey tests showed significant generational differences in alumni's intentions to get involved. These findings provide faculty and administrators opportunities to benchmark and explore activities and social events to get alumni involved.
