Higher education is evolving—and the next generation is driving the change. In this episode of The Great Retention, Kamber sits down with Dr. Larry Miller, President of Greenville Technical College, to unpack how Gen Z is reshaping both the classroom and the workplace. Dr. Miller highlights the strengths younger generations bring to the table, from social media fluency to a mission-focused, values-driven mindset. He also shares why higher education is facing an identity crisis, and why it’s important to remember that not all paths through college look the same. The conversation explores how today’s students are investing in themselves, the role of AI in mastering critical skills, and the *real* value proposition of higher education today. This episode sheds light on the future of learning, leadership, and work. If you’re someone who cares about education, professional development, or career growth (AKA, just about everyone!), then this is one you can’t afford to skip.
