Meghan M. Grace "Generation Z Goes to College" |
|
Generation Z, those born from 1995 through 2010, is rapidly replacing Millennials on college campuses. They have different motivations, learning styles, characteristics, skill sets, and social concerns than previous generations. Generation Z students grew up during the recession and are focusing in on their employment after college.
Over the past four years, Dr. Corey Seemiller and Meghan Grace conducted two original, large-scale studies on Generation Z: the Generation Z Goes to College study in 2014, and the Generation Z Stories study in 2017.
This Keynote address will enhance our KAPPA audience's awareness of Generation Z’s mindset and goals, and the implications for the college campus, its facilities, and the education provided.

Justin Mears LeadOff, LLC "Character Matters: Why Integrity is the Foundation of Good Leadership" |
|
Much of the time we spend on leadership development examines the competencies and strengths necessary for good leadership, while often generalizing the necessity of character and integrity. This presentation seeks to examine what we mean by character and integrity, what role proper habituation of “virtues” plays in becoming our best selves, and how all of this is connected to our ability to properly understand what a life of striving for integrity looks like. It will then explain how properly-habituated virtues are necessary for true influence and for gaining the respect and trust of those you are leading. Justin Mears has been published in a leadership textbook issued to all Midshipmen at the United States Naval Academy. |
