Timothy C. Caboni
Assoc. Dean for External Relations and Professional Education; Lecturer in Public Policy and Higher Education
Ph.D., Vanderbilt University, 2001
Research Area
Professor Caboni's research is grounded theoretically in both sociology and communication theory, and focuses on social control and stratification within higher education, and the relationships between postsecondary education institutions and their external publics. He is specifically concerned with the self-regulation of the fund raising profession; the existence of accumulative advantage in voluntary support of higher education; the influence of capital campaign materials on the perceptions of donor publics; the relationship between practitioner perception and crisis planning in colleges and universities; and the function of organizational identification as a mediating variable between donor characteristics and giving.
