Abstract

This presentation synthesizes and expands on the works of Chickering and Reisser (1993), Perry (1981), and Rowe, Bennett, and Atkinson (1994) to create a student development theory for traditional-age white millennial students. The work also incorporates how current theories must be revisited due to current descriptions of millennial students differing from those of the sample populations utilized by the theorists. Despite not being empirically tested, the central purpose of this theory is to encourage further research within the field of student development. The information synthesized in this presentation was first published in the MCPA Digest.
