Session Description:
This interactive session will analyze the characteristics and learning needs of our current student body, Gen Z. We know they are digital natives, quickly bored by slow-paced engagement. Due to the pandemic, they missed socializing and being academically challenged, so are less prepared for college. AI offers an easy off-ramp. They want a curriculum that will lead to a job, since their families were impacted by the 2008-2009 economic recession. They want to change the world and recognize the importance of mental health. How can faculty/staff build on students’ strengths and help them develop the skills they need to gain the knowledge we want them to master?
Learning Outcomes:
- Gain a clearer understanding of the characteristics of Gen Z students.
- Clarify what practices in our teaching, advising, or mentoring we should keep or change to meet the needs of Gen Z.
