| Summary |
While many institutions have developed policies to address the myriad needs of Millennial college students and their parents, inherent in many of these initiatives is the underlying assumption that this student population is a homogeneous group. This book is significant because it addresses and explores the characteristics and experiences of Millennials from an array of perspectives, taking into account not only racial and ethnic identity, but also cultural background, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status differences-all factors contributing to how these students interface with academe. |
