Listening to Drs. Arthur Levine and Diane Dean at NASPA Conference talk about their new book, "Generation Tightrope: A Portrait of Today's College Student." Makes me feel very elder statesman, but I've got to get the book!
Here's the essence of what the researchers found regarding today's college student.
Digital natives
Most diverse, more global
More connected, yet more isolated
Most coddled, pampered
In worst economy
So colleges need to educate for:
Life in a time of profound change
Life in a digital society
Life in a diverse, global society
Life in an evolving information economy
Civic engagement
