How many donate to their school as alumni?
I did not for 27 years, but I am now starting to the last 3 years. The Big 3 concept (from 1971 by Nyquist) has been excellent to me.

i donated a small amount to TESU when they bugged me the last time, but honestly I'm not likely to again. I only took 2 courses with them, and already have them thousands for for that.
I'd be much more inclined to donate to WGU as an alumni, having actually taken a good chunk of courses there now. I feel more connected to the school as a student, and am a big fan of their model.

I'm thinking of donating to WGU. I would donate to my community college, but they already get my tax money, so...

TESU was not even a thought for donations with the initial calls after graduation but might be more open to the idea in the future. If I ever attend Claremont Lincoln University, I would probably donate due to the cool things they are doing in and around where I grew up. Since it's still a pretty long shot that I will attend, I am not sure that's making a major statement on donations

TESU is driving me crazy with their calls. They call multiple times a week. Considering how little interaction I had with them over the six months between application and capstone completion I'm surprised. I've talked to them more since graduation then I ever did as an actual student.

Same here, and I actually ended up giving them a small donation. I'm amazed that they haven't constantly harassed me since, but I'm certainly not complaining.

I am really happy with TESU and would like to donate someday if I strike it rich 
I would get annoyed by the calls. Maybe I'll tell them that I am a broke student once I graduate, because I plan to be.
And hopefully things go well with my Nations University M.T.S. degree. I already think that school is worth donating to.
Actually, if I struck it rich, I would also like to donate to schools I didn't attend.
