Gen Z

 I've started seeing a lot of buzz about Gen Z... 

​

That's quite a lot of hype!!  Here are the links to the other info on Gen Z that I've come across:

Millennials Are Old News — Here’s Everything You Should Know About Generation Z

Gen Z wants to change the world. 60% of them want to have an impact on the world, compared to 39% of millennials, according to a study by Sparks & Honey, a New York-based marketing agency. Roughly one in four Generation Z-ers are involved in volunteering. Advanced college degrees are less important to them. 64% of Gen Z-ers are considering an advanced college degree, compared to 71% of millennials. 

    Generations Z

Born: 1995-2012 Coming of Age: 2013-2020 Age in 2004: 0-9 Current Population: 23 million and growing rapidly ** college age 2013-2030** **Have always known the internet**

Meet Generation Z  the first 10 slides are mostly for marketers, you'll find the rest of the slidedeck to be of interest (**p52)...  this was prepared by Sparks & Honey (the ones that did that study I linked to above)

What New Power Looks Like

What New Power Looks Like

Changes in technology and in how information is shared both further and faster are transforming how organizations operate. Thomas Malone, of the MIT Sloan School of Management, shows how the changes in organizational structure mirror changes in how human society has organized and operated. His presentation illustrates that these changes can be primarily tied by a single factor, the cost of communication, and he presents present-day examples to show what the organization of the future may look like.

I had a great chat with a colleague of mine who works for Gabelli IT this afternoon about creating a collaborative group made up of representatives of all of the different groups helping faculty.  Our focus would be to  1.  share resources  2.  create a unified message  3.  support each other.

This project would have a website that can provide a framework for developing our PLNs at Fordham, helping to break down the silos among us.

Seize the day

One of my favorite sci fi books of all time is Dune by Frank Herbert.  So many great quotes, like this one:  “Without change something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens. The sleeper must awaken”

As I said in my last post, this is a time of crisis and opportunity.  What’s one thing that has changed for the better in your life in these times?  It’s so easy to focus on problems, sometimes it helps to think on the positive side.

Here’s some Productivity, Positivity, and Creativity for your day.

Star Wars, Kidneys, and PT

I just signed up for the Star Wars Virtual Half Marathon and created a campaign to raise money for the American Kidney Fund :)  

Dialysis saved my life.  Help me raise some money to help the AKF make a difference to others in need.   

I experienced Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) when I was in the hospital this past fall.  I had double pneumonia and sepsis.  I was kept sedated and placed on an ECMO machine while receiving dialysis.  I spent 6 weeks in the hospital.  I am very fortunate that I've regained kidney function and no longer need dialysis.

Right now, if your kidneys fail you the only options are dialysis or transplant.  Dialysis is very expensive and the current waitlist for a transplant is about 7 years.  

During the rest of February and the month of March, I will combine the miles I do with my love of Star Wars and a campaign to help support others still on dialysis.    

I’ll be sharing updates on my progress here and on Flickr & IG...  

If you’d like to contribute to my campaign, please visit my AKF page.  Thanks!!
