Also known as iGen and Centennials, Gen Z are those born between 1996 and 2012. With this, it means that the oldest Gen Z are finishing college and ready to enter the workforce. Each generation is inclined to have its own unique attributes and characteristics but Gen Z has one that makes them stand out from previous generations: they were raised with the internet and technology just at their fingertips.Colleges all over the world are confronting this predicament as population shifts move us further away from the 18- to the 22-year-old group that once described the typical college student.

Schools, especially higher education, must know how they can adjust to teaching the Gen Z students effectively. With this, schools must go digital and think digital.This book can be anyone's guide in knowing the basics of what to expect from a tech-savvy, literate Gen Z individual. It shows the statistics and opinions concerning the thoughts of Gen Z when entering higher education, and what one can do to adapt and meet their needs for a better, productive, and a certain future ahead of them.
