Lecture Summary:  The profile of the average U.S. student has changed rapidly since the early 1940’s.  “Baby Boomers”, “Generation Xer’s” and now the Millennial Student.  How has the changing face of students affected curriculum delivery within the university system?   During this one hour presentation, Jim Hughs will “take you for a walk down memory lane” and hopefully offer some information that will assist all instructors in addressing the needs of today’s learners.
