Gen Z Communication Society

Gen Z Stars dream of personal career fulfillment but expect economic struggles. They have less positive life outlooks, with lower levels of emotional and social well-being than older generations. They are more interested in belonging to an inclusive, supportive community.

At each stage of the journey, it considers adaptations necessitated by three key values of Generation Z—personalization, technology, and outcomes—and proposes questions we should ask ourselves as admissions and enrollment officers in the midst of this paradigm shift.
