Abstract

After the publication of the special issue on “the contemporary college student,” the authors received numerous comments and questions about its concluding piece on “the future college student.” There were three questions we found in need of further attention, which we explore in this manuscript: (1) How will the generational characteristics of the emerging cohort, and those to come, affect the future of higher education? (2) How might educational practices and social changes alter the landscape of higher education? and (3) Will the purpose and presumed necessity of college change in the future? This rejoinder to the conclusion closes with calls for scholars to address some of these questions as we plot our collective future.
