Category:	Richard Sweeney
Description:	How Does the Millennial Generation Differ from Other Generations at the Same Age? They already know that they don’t want to work or play like their parents’ generation. They are called the Millennials, Gen Y, Next Gen, Echo Boomers, or…”Don’t Label Us.” They use information, and learn, differently. They were born between 1979 and 1994, and they are the largest generation since the Boomers (1946 to 1964). Millennials currently crowd our colleges and universities, both because they are a larger generation and because more of them are going to college than ever before. Millennial researcher, Richard Sweeney, will discuss how Millennials differ from generations before them at the same age and explore the implications for colleges and universities. Mr. Sweeney will then pose questions to a live panel of about 12 Millennials, as he attempts to confirm and expand on the research.

Category:	Cultivating Campus Cultures that Value Student Success
Description:	To make our campuses more effective in promoting learning and success in first-year students, we must consider the role played by each unique campus culture, including: What does our institution value? What people and activities are recognized and rewarded? Do our operating procedures reflect what our mission says is desirable? Do faculty and staff feel change is needed but feel powerless to a accomplish it? The panelists have all successfully influenced campus cultures and will offer strategies to address these issues on our campus. Presenters: Catherine Anderson, Dir. First Year Experience--Gallaudet University John Gardner, Ex. Dir. Policy Center on the First Year of College George D. Kuh, Chancellor's Professor of Higher Education--Indiana University
