Relationships between College Experiences and Alumni Participation in the Community

This investigation examined relationships between college experiences and alumni participation in community organizations. College experiences were measured by participation in college activities and by perceptions of college contribution to developing intellectual and personal skills. Participation in activities during college was a substantial predictor of alumni participation in community organizations. Perceptions of college contribution to developing intellectual and personal skills were significantly related to alumni participation in community organizations but did not explain significant variance in alumni participation.
