28. Millennial students • Characteristics of the Millennial Generation Born between the years 1981 and 2000, their current age (2014) is 13 to 33 years old • Millennials Go To College (2003) by Neil Howe and William Strauss. Website: www.lifecourse.com 1. Special Have always been treated as special and important. They may carry a sense of entitlement about them and have an expectation of frequent positive feedback. They feel they are here to solve world problems that older generations have failed to solve. They may claim they want privacy, but they crave attention.

29. millennials 2. Sheltered Highly protected as children. As college students, they may expect faculty and staff to shelter, protect, and nurture them – and resolve their conflicts for them. Millennials are the focus of the most sweeping youth safety movement in American history. 3. Confident They are motivated, goal-oriented, and confident in themselves and the future. They expect college to help launch them to greatness. They have high levels of optimism and they feel connected to their parents. They are assertive and believe they are “right”. In Canada the Millennial generation is called the “Sunshine” generation.

30. millennials 4. Team-Oriented They are group oriented rather than being individualists. They may sacrifice their own identity to be part of the team. They do not want to stand out among their peers, they want to be seen as part of the group. They dislike selfishness and are oriented toward service learning and volunteerism. 5. Achieving Grade points are rising with this generation and crime is falling. The focus on getting good grades, hard work, involvement in extracurricular activities, etc. is resulting in higher achievement levels. They see college as the key to a high paying job and success, and may miss the bigger picture of what a college education is all about. They are pressured to decide early on a career – and have been put on a career track orientation since grade school. Their focus is more on the world of achievement rather than personal development. The Boomer generation made their mark in the humanities and arts, whereas the Millennials prefer math and science fields.

31. Millennials 6. Pressured Tightly scheduled as children and used to having every hour of their day filled with structured activity. They feel pressured to succeed. They’ve been pushed hard to achieve, to avoid risks, and to take advantage of opportunities. They may take on too much, and then think others should be flexible with them when they want to negotiate scheduling conflicts. They think multi-tasking saves time and is a smart thing to do, but aren’t usually aware of the poorer quality of results. 7. Conventional Respectful to the point of not questioning authority. They are civic-minded and believe the government knows what’s best and will take care of them. They fear being considered non-conformist. Their clothing, music, and cultural markings will be very mainstream. They value their parents’ opinions very highly. They are trying to invite rules and norms back into the culture.

32. A coherent model Who are your students, and how does that affect how you work with them?
