For students and recent graduates, they’re directly attached to the university and for many, they follow the programs closely. Then life happens. You get a job 300 miles away, marry a spouse from another school, have kids, soccer, cub scouts, church, high school, more pressing job responsibilities. So when that graduate is 40, 50, 60 is there passion anything like it was when they were 21? Of course not. But for every 40-year old grad, there is a 21-year old grad that has the passion, of course being mindful the university you love has changed a lot in 20+ years. But in our hearts, we still bleed orange and maroon, even though we’ve got lots more stuff to concern ourselves with now then when we were 21
