10 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SEMINAR (Sponsored by TCCTA Professional Development Committee) Friday, February 24, 1:00 2:15 p.m. Galleria Ballroom I and II Broadcast via STARLINK Presiding... Anamaria D. Shaw Tarrant County College Southeast Chair, Professional Development Committee 10 Terri Manning New Standards for the New Student? PANELISTS...TERRI M. MANNING Central Piedmont Community College WANDA-LEE SMITH San Antonio College MODERATOR...BEAMAN FLOYD TCCTA The TCCTA Professional Development Committee, in conjunction with STARLINK, will present an interactive seminar on New Standards for the New Student? at 1:00 p.m., on Friday, February 24. The 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 differently 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 College. 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. This 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. This generation will replace the baby-boomers as they retire, Dr. Manning observes. The New Students, she adds, have been plugged into technology since they were babies, and are the first generation for which Hispanics will be the largest minority group. They have the most educated mothers of any generation before them. They are true multi-taskers, expect to have multiple careers in their lifetime, and are attracted to diverse environments. Throughout the session, there will be opportunities for participation and discussion from the audience.
