Join us as we explore the world of Gen Z college students and young alumni, digital natives born between 1995 and 2012. These tech-savvy individuals are navigating "emerging adulthood," a phase where they are no longer adolescents but not quite adults. We'll delve into Arnett's concept of identity exploration, instability, self-sufficiency, and endless possibilities. Additionally, we'll examine Schlossberg’s Transition Theory to understand how Gen Z seniors prepare to graduate and enter the "real world." By understanding the 4 S’s of Transition—Situation, Self, Support, and Strategies—we can create innovative support for seniors and young alumni. This session will highlight how thoughtful support during this transition impacts their perception of the value of their college education. Let's learn, appreciate, and support our Gen Zers on their exciting journey!
