Every year, since 1998, Beloit College releases what they call the Mindset List which provides a cultural touchstone on the things that have shaped the lives of students entering college this fall. It was originally created as a reminder to faculty to be aware of the dated references however it has come a catalog of the rapidly changing worldview of each new generation.
After having spent the last week living on a college campus in a sorority house as the interim house mom, I thought that it was especially appropriate that this list was released today, on the day I'm scheduled to go home.
The girls in the sorority house I've been staying at this week have been amazing. They've thanked me for helping them out and recognized that I'm here to work with them and not against the as the authority figure in the house this week. That gives me hope for the future that there are great kids coming through college now who have potential!
Enjoy this year's list which can be found at http://www.beloit.edu/mindset/2015/!
