For university presidents and other administrators, faculty, researchers, and policymakers, Heller (education, Pennsylvania State U.) and d'Ambrosio (TIAA-CREF Institute) present 12 chapters based on papers from the National Higher Education Leadership Conference, "Generational Shockwaves: Implications for Higher Education," convened by the TIAA-CREF (Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association-College Retirement Equities Fund) Institute in November 2007 on generational issues in higher education. Administrators and scholars from universities in the US, and individuals from the Institute and other organizations, examine the challenges of managing faculty, staff, and students from the Baby Boomer, Generation X, and Millennial generations, their differing perspectives, priorities, and impact on institutions. They discuss meeting demands for change; the changing work lives of Generation X faculty; how Millennials use technology; recruiting and retaining Millennials as students and as the next generation of college faculty; and how campuses evolved under the influence of Baby Boomers and how their retirement will affect higher education.
