So the last 4 or 5 months I have been volunteering my time to help teach a course at Appalachian State University.  In a nutshell, It’s a senior seminar focused on researching this generation’s unique ability to change the world using social media campaigns, corporate social responsibility, etc.  It was a class that professor Amy Hudnall and I dreamed up over coffee one day last year, and I have to say, I am so glad I decided to take on this challenge.

We are at the end of the semester right now and the class has now broken into four different groups for their final projects.  The reason why I am so stoked about this class isn’t so much for the content, but the way we set the course up by putting a huge emphasis on the group project.  Some of the groups clicked right away and others have had some serious personality issues within the groups, but helping them work through these issues and watch them still have the ability to turn in amazing work has been awesome!

So for any of you naysayers out there that thing the generation coming up is lazy or out of touch or whatever, I say piss off!  These kids are going to change the world… for good!
