PRO Parent/Guest Attendance
88% of those in Generation Z feel they are extremely close to their parents, whom they see as playing roles more like friends and advisers. (2, p. 89)
Half take the opinions and perspectives of their family into consideration in their decision making. (2, p. 89)
In considering what has fostered this type of relationship, it is likely the honesty, trust, and openness that their parents have displayed early in their lives. (2, p. 157)
We have seen increased involvement of parents on PRO Days.

Gen Z students want financial securityUnlike members of Generation Y — and especially Gen Xers — Gen Z teens seem to be more financially careful and debt averse when it comes to student loans, according to the nonprofit College Savings Foundation.
They also are willing to work their way through high school and college to help cover tuition, room and board and other college costs, the survey found.
As a whole, Gen Z students “appear to be a more conservative generation that also realizes the impact debt can have on their lives,” said Roger Michaud, chairman emeritus of the Washington-based savings organization.
That’s a sharp contrast, he noted, to members of previous generations who often took a “sky’s the limit” approach to borrowing for college. (3)
94% of incoming students plan to work in a co-op or internship before graduating. (1)
82% of incoming students plan to work either full-time or part-time while also attending S&T. (1)

Gen Z studentsseek fulfillment
“Although they recognize that getting any job can be challenging, they also do not want to settle for a job that is not fulfilling. Two-thirds want their careers to have a positive impact on the world, and nearly 40% plan to invent something that will ‘change the world.’” (2, p. 103)
