Students entering college this year have grown up in a world where a phone is used for anything except voice communication. Instead, it is a video game, a direction finder, an electronic telegraph and a research library. For these students, conversations can be had through emotions, relationships can be found on eHarmony and jobs can be discovered on Monster.com. These are just some of the facts catalogued on Beloit College’s annual Mindset List for the Class of 2021 that was released Tuesday. Currently in its 20th year, the Mindset List aims to bridge the gap between generations and acts as a touchstone for teachers to have one-on-one chats and class discussions with students.
