    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF ENGLISH THE STUDENT PHILANTHROPY SHIFT: HOW DEBT AFFECTS COLLEGE STUDENT PHILANTHROPY ALISSA JANOSKI SPRING 2016 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in English with honors in English Reviewed and approved* by the following: Jessica O’Hara Lecturer, Professor of English Thesis Supervisor Xiaoye You Associate Professor of English and Asian Studies English Honors Adviser * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i ABSTRACT Through the lenses of English rhetoric and economic theories, this thesis explores how student resentment over the indebtedness of the college generation affects philanthropic giving. One of the most recognizable attributes of the Millennial (college age students and young alumni) generation is their willingness to rally behind causes they feel a connection to. This paper explores the resentment of the Millennial generation towards higher education institutions. A discussion of the financial situation of college students emphasizes why this resentment exists. The majority of this paper examines Penn State as a case study for this topic through the Penn State Class Gift Campaign. In addition, this thesis identifies ways institutions can combat the institutional resentment from students to create philanthropic affinity for a college or university. This thesis identifies results that suggest students’ are showing a greater concern for “people to people” giving rather than giving to the
