About
Generation Z (Gen Z) consists of those who were born roughly between 1995 and 2010. This generation is known for being the first generation of digital natives and is often misunderstood as socially indifferent by many. Gen Z is the most ethnically diverse and the largest generation in American history, comprising 27% of the US population. They are receptive to technology, innovative ideas, and holistic forms of civic engagement. This presentation is led by two university faculty members in Criminal Justice and Communication Studies. The presenters will share their experiences in creating and engaging collaborative projects for undergraduate students. This workshop uses studies and statistics to illuminate the characteristics of Gen Z in terms of its demographics, psychographics, and its views on civic engagement, and its influence on public communication and public safety.
