The Millennial Mile: Understanding the Student of Today
Jason Headrick
Students today are different from many we in the profession have encountered. As counselors we find ourselves scratching our heads and wondering what we can do better. “Helicopter parents,” increased awareness and being the most racially and ethnically diverse generation in our country’s history are all trademarks of a millennial student. We will focus on understanding them as a generation and how to more effectively work with them.
