Abstract
Due to disruptive changes such as COVID-19, universities can achieve better student outcomes with a shift to a learner-centered strategy. During the Spring semester, faculty abruptly changed their teaching method of face-to-face format to mostly online education. With the ongoing impacts of disruptive changes, colleges and universities must make significant changes in order to recruit and retain this generation of students. This presentation examines the traits of today’s generation of students to provide recommendations on how administrators and faculty can better engage Generation Z for greater student outcomes. The result of this discussion is significant because the results can better assist administrators, faculty, and practitioners on how to inject innovative thinking in order to produce sustainability education for current and future
students.

This presentation examines the traits of today’s generation of students to provide recommendations on how administrators and faculty can better engage Generation Z for greater student outcomes.
