What's the Class of 2011 All About?

Want to know more about your student and her peer group? Faculty members at Beloit College, Wisconsin, have compiled a Mindset List. Its 70 items provide a look at the "cultural touchstones" that have shaped the lives of the incoming freshman class. Perusing the list can help you get into the "mindset" of today's traditional-aged students. Here's a teaser . . .

Class of 2011

For members of the Class of 2011:

  • They  will encounter roughly equal numbers of female and male professors in the classroom
  • Tiananmen Square is  a 2008 Olympics venue, not the  scene of a massacre
  • The World Wide Web has been an online tool since they were born
  • They learned about JFK from Oliver Stone and Malcolm X from Spike Lee
  • "Off the hook" has never had anything to do with a telephone
