Beloit College mindset list

Welcome to the Beloit College Mindset List for the entering college class of 2013

This is the 12th year that Beloit College has assembled these observations that help to identify the experiences that have shaped the lives—and formed the mindset—of students starting their post-secondary education this fall.

The Mindset List is not a chronological listing of things that happened in 1991, the year they were born. It is instead an effort to identify the worldview of 18 year-olds in the fall of 2009. Of course, our students come from many backgrounds and different traditions and these generalizations may not apply to all. The list identifies the experiences and event horizons of students and is not meant to reflect on their preparatory education.

It is also not deliberately designed to make readers feel really old!

Just an interesting view of how todays young adult see the world

Hi there! I'm still around.

Don't be a stranger. That's the right phrase. I'm just unsure how to manage.

I'm sorry that I'm pinball retired nearly 100%, but it seems to be fact. To be still around you all/friends I started this over there: http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=3540&st=0

Maybe you can/want/like to participate and have to contribute some talk?

It was a difficult decision, but finally I decided to open the thread over there because I considered (most of) you to be there as well and there are (many?) other friends as well. I don't mange to follow all the threads at several forums anymore. I would like to welcome you at 'YOGI'S CORNER'.
