Description
"Higher education is on the cusp of a new enrollment boom. The U.S. Department of Education estimates that by 2012 total college enrollment will exceed 15.8 million students, an increase of more than 12 percent over the 2003 enrollment level. The bulk of this increase will consist of traditional-age students who are members of the Millennial generation (born after 1981). This generation of students and their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors will require student affairs practitioners to adopt new learning and service strategies, rethink student development theories, and modify educational environments. It is the goal of this volume of New Directions fro Student Services to give readers a foundation for understanding this newest generation of students and to offer suggestions on how to educate and serve them more effectively."--Page 4 of cover.
