20 The Millennial Challenge: Graduate Students of the Future
21 Four Questions Who are the millenials? How well positioned are graduate schools to respond? What are areas of vulnerability
22 Who are the millennials? Born Different from generation X or baby boomers because more... Confident Visual Multi-tasking Technologically savvy Collaborative learners Value balance Diverse
23 Millennials are different... 40% have ethnic minority background 20% have at least one immigrant parent Hold higher expectations across lines
24 Graduate Schools Respond Embracing Interdisciplinary Curricula Greatest growth area in graduate curriculum Central to strategic plans of most universities Embedding Soft Skills Communication Interdisciplinary teamwork, flexibility Project management Computational skills Communication ability Basic business skills Ethical reasoning Rediscovering Master s Developing Online Alternatives
25 Challenges for Attracting and Retaining Millennials Demographic challenges Accountability demands Community and context Broader horizons (vs. ivory tower)
26 Graduate Education 2020 Support from Educational Testing Service A 10-year project: annual symposia, publication series Convening some of the world s leading thinkers to look at trends affecting the future of graduate education, with special emphasis on examinations of these trends from a global perspective.
27 Graduate Education 2020 Speakers Anthony Carnavale, Georgetown University (economics and education policy) Chris Dede, Harvard University (researcher on educational technology) David Baker, Penn State (international education researcher) Stephen Trachtenberg, President Emeritus, George Washington Peter Scott, Vice Chancellor, Kingston University Christian Bode, Secretary General, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD)
28 Sample Questions from the Graduate Education 2020 Initiative If predictions of a merger of biological and nonbiological intelligence comes true, what are the implications for graduate education? How might technology reconfigure the current financial and training models for graduate education? How important is political context (e.g. democracy, transparency, and an open society) to a thriving graduate education and economic competitiveness?
29 Conclusion: What does Graduate Education s Future Hold? Stimulus AND accountability (for efficiency, integrity, and contribution to the public good) E.g. master s attrition and completion International, interdisciplinary, intercultural, intersector partnerships Master s $15M in stimulus for professional science master s More reforms to attract Millennial students Leadership with long-term vision as well as short-term solutions
