Melissa it is always great to see someone who has learned so much and is able to find application immediately. Congratulations on your continued success!

Wonder what the Senate committee is going to find when they dig through the training manuals of the 30 selected colleges and schools.  I'm thinking we'll see a lot of similarities and a push for new approaches in recruitment will emerge.  It's actually a great opportunity since the old ways weren't working that well anyway.  Onward and Upward!

Just curious what colleges and schools are doing out there to develop the future leaders this sector needs.  Ideas?

We're brainstorming research areas for the coming year.  Any input on topics and data most useful for the sector?

That's wonderful Melissa. It sounds like collaboration has worked well for you and your colleagues in a variety of ways. Have you ever had a teammate not willing to share ideas and approaches? What do you do then?
Excellent Melissa! You certainly understand that your flexibility in understanding preferences of the generations must also be adapted based on individual preferences. Some younger/Millennials may prefer a telephone call although it's not as "typical". The key is you are informed and educated in a variety of communiction modes so you have a choice.
Great insights and application, Melissa. I'm certain the awareness of the different generations will help you with all your audiences.
Hello Melissa. It's great you found a career that matches your Gen X attributes. Using the knowledge of the different generations you certainly can adapt what you do to connect with your students.

You're absolutely right Don!  Looking forward to more people like you taking on the challenge to lead us through these tough times!  In fact, our students learn by what we model (good and bad).  Let's use this as an opportunity!

Let's look at this as an opportunity!  Seriously!  I've been hearing from reps for years that they wanted new techniques to connect better with students and the recent focus means everyone has to take a new look at the old ways of doing business.  We'll be just fine and in fact - better than ever!
