“New Standards for the New Student?”

PANELISTS ....................................TERRI M. MANNINGCentral Piedmont Community College

WANDALEE SMITHSan Antonio College

MODERATOR .......................................BEAMAN FLOYDTCCTA

Th e TCCTA Professional Development Committee, in con-junction with STARLINK, will present an interactive seminar on “New Standards for the New Student?” at 1:00 p.m., on Friday, February 24. Th e seminar will be broadcast to campuses in the U.S. and Canada.

Leading the session will be Terri M. Manning, who frequently gives presentations on the “Millennial” generation—a cohort of individuals who often think and behave diff erently than previous generations. Whether called “millennials,” “digital natives,” or by some other label, it is clear that the current generation of students poses unique challenges and opportunities for faculty members.

Dr. Manning is the associate vice president for institutional research and the director of the Center for Applied Research at Central Piedmont Community College in North Carolina.

Wanda-Lee Smith teaches political science at San Antonio Col-lege. She holds a master’s degree from the University of Arizona. She has also taught at Pima Community College in Arizona and at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

Th is session will focus on the generation of children born between 1982 and 2002, some 81 million people who will begin entering the workforce this year. “Th is generation will replace the baby-boomers as they retire,” Dr. Manning observes.

Th e New Students, she adds, “have been plugged into technol-ogy since they were babies, and are the fi rst generation for which Hispanics will be the largest minority group. Th ey have the most educated mothers of any generation before them. Th ey are true multi-taskers, expect to have multiple careers in their lifetime, and are attracted to diverse environments.”

Th roughout the session, there will be opportunities for partici-pation and discussion from the audience.

SECTION MEETING EVALUATIONAs a part of its continuing effort to assure that convention section meetings are worthwhile for those attending, and because of its belief that the section meetings are the most important single element in our annual conventions, the Executive Committee requests each member to participate in an evaluation of section meetings attended. Some sections have developed their own forms for program evaluation. This form has been devised for use in evaluating programs for sections which do not have their own forms.

PLEASE PROVIDE YOUR CANDID OPINION REGARDING THE SEC-TION MEETING PROGRAM. The forms will be collected at the close of the meeting. (If you prefer, you may mail your evaluation form to the TCCTA state offi ce to be forwarded to the appropriate person.)
