future UCLA alums: how much you gonna give?

<p>So you graduate, maybe go to graduate school, then get your dream career, and hey...you admit that you really loved what you learned during however much time you spent at UCLA. How big will your donations to the school be once you're off leading your professional lives etc...? if you choose to make any at all....and if you don't choose to make donations, big or small, what would be stopping you?</p>

<p>I'm donating only to the UCLA Engineering Alumni Fund, but the monetary amount depends on my future salary... and whether or not UCLA accepts me for graduate school... :rolleyes:</p>

<p>What's stopping me, you ask? Well, paying rent and staying alive, for one. For someone going into writing and academia, you do the math.</p>

<p>It would depend on my future salary, as well as where I end up going to law school.</p>

<p>my basic point is. do you guys plan on giving as much as you'd be ABLE to. be it 5 dollars a year or 100,000 LoL.</p>

<p>i already donated $5 back! </p>

<p>lol okay, the alumni association encourages us alumni scholars to uh.. practice donating money back LOL. really. we have to fund an alumni scholarship. </p>

<p>but in all seriousness, i'd like to donate a lot back. can't really put my finger on how much cuz i dont know my financial situation yet. but i'm one of those who, if i had the money, would like to see my name on a building or a scholarship. and i'd like to see the football team kick USC's behind year after year too. etc. the list goes on.</p>

<p>i like how this thread is in the UCLA forum and not the USC forum.</p>

<p>I already donated $20! Wahoooo!</p>

<p>It all depends on my future sallary, but I'd like to be really active in the Alumni Association after I graduate... maybe I could interview prospective alumni scholars or something...</p>

<p>seriously if every single student, undergrad, grad, foreign, etc...donated even just 5 dollars every year. that'd be AMAZING!</p>

<p>lol i'm sure we'd all be glad to donate $5 if they cut $5 off our rising tuition!</p>

<p>good thing arnold decided to subsidize the new fee increase!</p>

<p>I am an MBA student at the Anderson school, and I already promised Mr. Anderson that I would donate a few million if I ever got that wealthy. But even if I just end up moderately successful, I would like to think I'd donate at least $1,000 a year, in addition to volunteering my time.</p>
