Abstract

This chapter examines the concerns and challenges that most college millennials face in today's technology-savvy society. Existing research indicates that college students are having interactions both inside and outside of their respective campus environs that are influencing their civic-mindedness and shaping their engagement in civic action. The role of faculty is to assist students' understanding and reflecting upon their civic engagement and how to document and share their contributions, plans and questions with others and themselves. Faculty instructors are transparent with their students around their own approaches and challenges in the area of civic engagement. As a result, students learn strategies and approaches that may be useful after they finish their first year of college and plan for continued engagement over their time in college and beyond.
