Digest No. 12 - March 2024

Courting and Keeping Donors

Donors, especially those who make large donations once or several times to an institution, need to feel respected by the institutions. This involves carefully listening to the needs and desires of the donors and demonstrating that their perspectives can have an impact on the institution.

About the Digest

The Digest of Recent Research has been archived. It highlighted timely research and practical resources with a focus on topics of relevance to presidents and other leaders of independent colleges and universities. Under the co-editorship of Bethany L. Miller, associate provost and chief data officer at Macalester College (MN); and Philip T. Dunwoody, social sciences division head and professor of psychology at Juniata College (PA), issues had a clear theme designed to support members in addressing contemporary challenges. John M. Braxton, professor of higher education at Vanderbilt University, served as editor for the first three issues, and Matthew J. Mayhew, William Ray and Marie Adamson Flesher Professor of Educational Administration at Ohio State University served as editor from June 2018 through March 2024.
