ABSTRACT

Technology  and  electronic  social  networking  are  pervasive  among  today’s  college students. Cell phones, iPods, IM, MySpace, and  FaceBook  are  just  some  of  the  tools these students use daily. Communicating  in a meaningful way and finding teachable moments with these multitasking Millennials can truly be a challenge.  In  this session, we will learn to navigate the world of digital communication with  the help of a panel of  leading researchers—and  the  true experts, a group of Millennial students.
