Prior research has examined such alumni characteristics as wealth and affinity to the alma mater. Such findings have guided development professionals to conduct different kinds of research that can reveal aspects of affluence (e.g., real estate holdings, professional positions) and institutional engagement (e.g., membership in alumni associations, season tickets to sporting events). This information is housed in databases which can be accessed by the fundraisers. The current research seeks to extend our understanding by examining the potential differences between generations. This article examines survey responses from university alumni in two age cohorts from two large comprehensive universities in the United States. Respondents were asked questions that inquired about their affinity toward their alma mater, intentions to give as well as alumni interest in participating in or attending different events at the university. Significant differences between younger and older alumni were found within each topic. From these results, the importance of market research and applications of alumni segmentation specifically, are discussed for administrators and advancement professionals.10aMarketing1 aMcAlexander, Jim1 aKoenig, Hal1 aDuFault, Beth  uDOI: 10.1002/nvsm.154401658nas a2200181   4500008004100000245007300041210006600114260002800180300001200208490000700220520105200227653001401279100002101293700001801314700001801332700001901350856010701369       2014                        eng d00aThe Marketization of Religion: Field, Capital, and Consumer Identity0 aMarketization of Religion Field Capital and Consumer Identity  aMadison Wisconsinc2014  a858-8750 v413 aCertain institutions traditionally have had broad socializing influence over their members, providing templates for identity that comprehend all aspects of life from the existential and moral to the mundanely material. Marketization and detraditionalization undermine that socializing role. This study examines the consequences when, for some members, such an institution loses its authority to structure identity. With a hermeneutical method and a perspective grounded in Bourdieu�s theories of fields and capital, this research investigates the experiences of disaffected members of a religious institution and consumption field. Consumers face severe crises of identity and the need to rebuild their self-understandings in an unfamiliar marketplace of identity resources. Unable to remain comfortably in the field of their primary socialization, they are nevertheless bound to it by investments in field-specific capital. In negotiating this dilemma, they demonstrate the inseparability and co-constitutive nature of ideology and consumption.10aMarketing1 aMcAlexander, Jim1 aDuFault, Beth1 aMartin, Diane1 aSchouten, John  uhttps://dev.business.oregonstate.edu/biblio/marketization-religion-field-capital-and-consumer-identity
