A Perfect Storm: Understanding and Managing Millennials
Millennial Generation Challenges On Campus
The so-called "millennial generation" has arrived on campus, and they've brought with them new and serious challenges.
It doesn't matter if your institution is large or small, private or public–you've likely already encountered this perplexing group.
They are generally defined as younger than 27 and sometimes called 'Generation Me,' or 'Generation Q(uiet)'.
Millennial students defy traditional approaches to management and communication.
Yet it is vital to learn how to work with them effectively.
The millennial generation has ushered in a new era of campus health and safety concerns, the most alarming being a dramatic rise in mental health issues and an increased threat of violence.
W. Scott Lewis, J.D., explores the "perfect storm" of social and environmental factors that contributed to the development of the millennial generation and offers practical advice for working with this unique group.
