Abstract:
|
As professionals in higher education, we must be able to adapt our advising style to meet the needs of all of our students. The Millennial Generation is leaving college, giving rise to the Z Generation (Students born after 1995). Who is "Gen Z"? How are they different from other generations? More importantly, how will they affect what we do as advisors? Using research and ideas from the book 'Generation Z goes to College' by Seemiller and Grace, in addition to other sources, this presentation will explore how the generation shift will change higher education, while also providing concrete ideas to improve advising appointments and utilize technology in advancing our communication to better serve Gen Z. |
