Summary
The impact of different generations on American society has been well documented. Such books as Generation X, by Douglas Coupland, Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation, by Neil Howe, William Strauss and R. J. Matson, and The World According to Y: Inside the New Adult Generation, by Rebecca Huntley have established how these different groups affect our nation. The TIAA Institute 2007 National Higher Education Leadership Conference addressed how these groups are affecting the country’s colleges and universities.
