three people dressed in shades of pink

February 13, 2025 - 1:00 PM CT

Advisors primarily serve Generation Z on our college campuses today; therefore, it is essential that you have healthy intergenerational dialogue. The world is rapidly changing; therefore, advisors should always be open to a diversified advising approach. That is made possible through a posture of learning about Generation Z’s perspectives of life, education, and other pertinent subject matter. If not careful, we can subconsciously assume that Generation Z views the world from our (prior generations) lens.

What You'll Learn:

Participants in this session will learn how Generation Z feels about the following:

  1. Finding their major.
  2. Leaders and their preferred leadership styles.
  3. How they define “grit”.
  4. The value of education.
  5. Choosing a career.
  6. Technology usage.
