Abstract:
|
Despite extensive scholarship on Gen Z students, academic stakeholders are still puzzled about their communication preferences. While technology represents an integral part of their life, students do not like to substitute in-person interaction with online correspondence. To balance technology and personal connection, the College of Liberal Arts Student Center at the University of Nevada, Reno has implemented an innovative approach to student outreach and appointment scheduling. The new system caters to 'get-it-when-you-want-it' mentality and provides necessary attention to each individual student. The presenters will share the data confirming the success of this approach and address common syndromes that affect student engagement. The attendees will receive a toolkit on how to market advising services in a way that appeals to Gen Z. |
