Yesterday I gave an online "Understanding Gen Zalpha (Z+A)" lecture to about 40 faculty advisors at Kyungil University. Honestly, I was a little nervous beforehand. These professors meet students every day, and here I was talking to them about generations, which felt a bit odd… But once we started, the response built up quietly.
"Why don’t students these days add their professors as KakaoTalk friends?" Once we unpacked a few of these frustrations through the lens of generational codes, many reacted with "Ah, so that’s why." Generational differences are not about right or wrong, only about being different, and the side that reaches out first is the one who builds the relationship. Thank you to the Kyungil University professors for giving us their time.
