To help you get a handle on the latest generation of college students, YouVisit spoke with Corey Seemiller, director of research & assessment at OrgSync. Seemiller has researched Generation Z and is in the middle of completing a study on this increasingly important group of students.

Generation Z are students born after 1995. Members of this generation are just now starting to enter colleges and universities. But if you think Generation Z is just an extension of Millennials, you're wrong. There are many similarities between the two generation, but also many differences.

They Are True Digital Natives

The first thing most people note when they talk about Generation Z is the group's use of technology. This is a characteristic they share with Millennials. But there is a difference between the two generations. While Millennials are tech savvy, having grown up with emerging technology, Generation Z is tech reliant, Seemiller said.

What does this mean? Members of Generation Z like to share their thoughts-even the most mundane-online, and take part in the construction knowledge.

Just don't ask them to leave a voice message or read a long blog post. Generation Z gravitates toward shorter forms of communication, Seemiller said. Researchers have found that 50 percent of members of Generation Z send at least 50 texts each day. For these students-short and sweet is the key.

Generation We, Not Generation Me

More so than Millennials, Generation Z wants to collaborate; they want to share and be a part of a community.

"It's just fascinating that this generation really, really wants to get to know people," Seemiller said. "They are people who want to work in groups."

This is something college admissions offices might need to consider when attempting to reach members of Generation Z. They are not passive content consumers-just telling students about a college or program isn't enough, Seemiller said.

This could mean many things for higher ed institutions. Seemiller said colleges and universities need to engage Generation Z with information about what communities and activities they might be involved in at their school-especially through visual content.

"They want to be engaged," Seemiller said. "They want to be a part of it."

They Trust Their Friends and Family

Overall, Generation Z has a different relationship with authority than Millennials. The heroes and people that members of Generation Z trust are those who are close to them.

As an example, Seemiller said the biggest factor in Generation Z's buying decisions is word of mouth recommendations.

"Generation Z wants to hear it from a friend," she said. "They think the people around them can be trusted."

Admissions offices should take note of this. To attract prospective students it will take more than flashy content, Seemiller said.

Seemiller pointed to The University of Arizona as an example. Seemiller, the former director of Leadership Programs at UA, said the university acted on this piece of information through an initiative that encouraged students to bring a friend along when they joined leadership programs.

They Are Practical

Generation Z is more realistic and pragmatic than Millennials. Generation Z grew up in an incredibly complex time in American history. While Millennials came of age in a time of excess, Generation Z witnessed the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and the Great Recession.

While Millennials believed that they would graduate college, find a job, and prosper-Generation Z doesn't necessarily believe this.

"They've seen the people around them not succeed," Seemiller said. "They've watched their mom and dad lose their job."

For colleges and universities, this means careful consideration of how they speak to members of Generation Z, and potentially discussing the pros and cons of attending a higher education institution, Seemiller said.

"They realize that (success) isn't to be taken for granted," Seemiller said.

Big Problems Require Big Solutions

One of the things that caught colleges off guard when Millennials started to matriculate was how much they liked, and pursued, community service. Generation Z also has a philanthropic streak, just not in the same way that Millennials do.

Because Generation Z was raised with social media and instant communication, they are more aware of global problems than Millennials. They still want to pursue social change, but not in the same way that Millennials did, Seemiller said.

"They want to eradicate hunger and poverty-they don't' want to work five hours at a food bank," Seemiller said. "They want bigger change."

The next generation hungry to enter the workplace is Generation Z.

According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Generation Z (the post-Millennial generation) makes up 25% of the population. ( Read this to learn more about Generation Z.)

62% of Generation Z anticipate challenges working with Baby Boomers and Generation X; vs only 5% that anticipate challenges working with Millennials.

Companies with a firm understanding of the expectations and preferences of the emerging generations will be well-equipped to attract the next generation of talent, maximize their potential, alleviate the inevitable cross-generational challenges, and capitalize on cognitive diversity through a generationally diverse workforce.

Here are the eight major differences between Generation Z and Millennials you need to know:

1. Realistic vs optimistic

77% of Generation Z expect to work harder than previous generations.

Millennials became optimistic thanks to their encouraging Baby Boomer parents and growing up in a time of prosperity and opportunity. Generation Z will be realistic thanks to their skeptical and straight-shooting Generation X parents and growing up in a recession. According to Pew Charitable Trusts, during the Great Recession, the median net worth of Generation Z's parents fell by nearly 45%.

2. Independent vs collaborative

71% of Generation Z said they believe the phrase, "If you want it done right, then do it yourself."

When given the option to arrange a group of desks, Millennials would opt for a collaborative arrangement and assemble the desks into a circle. Generation Z will be more competitive with their colleagues and will harness a do-it-yourself mentality at work. In fact, 69% of Generation Z would rather have their own workspace than share it with someone else.

3. Digital natives vs digital pioneers

40% of Generation Z said that working Wi-Fi was more important to them than working bathrooms.

According to Pew Research, only 14% of U.S. adults had access to the Internet in 1995, but by 2014, 87% had access. Millennials were pioneers in the digital age. They witnessed the introduction and rise of social media, instant messaging, smartphones, search engines, and the mobile revolution. Generation Z did not witness these innovations, but rather, they were born into it. Ubiquitous connectivity, highly curated global information, on-demand video, and 24/7 news cycles are native to Generation Z.

4. Private vs public

70% of Generation Z would rather share personal information with their pet than with their boss.

As digital pioneers, Millennials explored (and in some cases exploited) social media and made public their thoughts, opinions, and every noteworthy or menial life update. With safety and security top of mind, Generation Z will be much more calculated and/or selective with the information they share online. For example, Generation Z gravitated to Snapchat because of the time bound content that won't live online forever like a Tweet or Facebook post would.

5. Face-to-face vs digital-only

74% of Generation Z prefer to communicate face-to-face with colleagues.

Millennials pioneered many of the digital communication tools (texting, instant messaging, Slack, etc.) that have made the workplace more efficient and effective but some would argue less personable. Equipped with their experience communicating using full sight, sound, and motion over Skype, FaceTime, Snapchat, etc., Generation Z is positioned as the ideal generation to finally strike the right balance between online and offline workplace communications.

6. On-demand learning vs formally educated

75% of Generation Z say there are other ways of getting a good education than going to college, according to Sparks & Honey.

Millennials are questioning if their large student debt was worth it, especially considering that 44% of recent college gradsare employed in jobs not requiring degrees and one in eight recent college gradsare unemployed. Generation Z will explore education alternatives. They will pursue on-demand or just-in-time learning solutions, like how-to YouTube tutorials, or will seek employers that offer robust on-the-job and development training.

7. Role-hopping vs job-hopping

75% of Generation Z would be interested in a situation in which they could have multiple roles within one place of employment.

Growing up in fast times and coming of age in an on-demand culture, Millennials have little patience for stagnation, especially when it comes to their careers. ( Read this to learn how to cure Millennials of their career impatience.) Generation Z won't want to miss out on any valuable experience and will want to flex their on-demand learning muscle by trying out various roles or projects (marketing, accounting, human resources, etc.) inside of the organization.

8. Global citizen vs global spectator

58% of adults worldwide ages 35+ agree that "kids today have more in common with their global peers than they do with adults in their own country."

Millennials were considered the first global generation because they shared similar characteristics and values across borders and they were able to view significant global events in real-time. However, Generation Z interacts with their global peers with greater fluidity than any other generation. As more of the world comes online, geographies will continue to shrink causing Generation Z to view themselves as global citizens.
