TBLC Workshop Announcement 

Millenials in the Library (College of DuPage Teleconference)

The Millennial Generation, Generation Y, Echo Boomers, Digital Natives,
and the Trophy Generation are all terms used to describe people born in
the United States between the early 1980s and the early 1990s. They have
been shaped by a heady mix of culture, politics, and technology.
"Millennials" have had an unprecedented exposure to mass media, pop
culture, instant communication, and cultural freedom woven together by a
complex technological net. It is daunting to try to classify a group of
over 70 million people easily. Our teleconference will seek to add
nuance to these classifications to help us understand them more fully
and answer the questions: Who are Millennials? How can our libraries
better serve them as patrons, students, and staff?

 

Presenter: Jennifer Kushell 

At 35, Jennifer Kushell, has lead a movement inspiring young people to
pursue their professional dreams for more than a decade. As the
president and co-founder of YSN.com ("Your Success Network"), she
spearheaded development of the first professionally focused network
dedicated to supporting emerging adults (Gen X and Millennials) as they
transition from home and school into the real world. In working with
young people from over 100 countries, YSN's mission is to ensure that no
young person lacks access to opportunity to realize their full
potential. YSN enables the next generation workforce in exploring their
passions, building their professional identities and pursuing
opportunities across the globe.
