"Thank you for coming to Glendale Community College to present on Generation Me. I cannot tell you how deeply you have touched our campus. Colleagues walk up to me to tell me they they bought your book or wanted to see the DVD of the talk. Others have shared classroom experiences or discussions with colleagues on how to most effectively respond to contemporary students. Every time I had the DVD ready to mail someone would approach me to borrow it. I finally ordered additional copies."

"Thank you for presenting to the Student Affairs staff at UC San Diego. Your presentation on Generation Me was both informative and engaging. I appreciate how you tailored the presentation to the needs of the staff and provided helpful information for staff who advise students, supervise student employees, and market services to students. I was pleasantly surprised that staff fielded questions to you for well over an hour after the presentation. That is a clear indication of the level of interest the presentation stimulated. Staff members continued to discuss the presentation with their colleagues well after they returned to their office. For many staff members the material was applicable both to their work responsibilities and their lives outside of work."

"Thank you so much for presenting at the NACAS Central conference in Milwaukee. You were a big hit! Many people told me how much they enjoyed your presentation - "It was thought-provoking", "I can't wait to read her book", "We need to bring her to our national conference", etc."

"Thanks again for being with us yesterday. I have heard very favorable responses, and the evaluations look stellar. Someone even suggested having you come back again after your next book is published! Hope you enjoyed being here as much as we enjoyed having you. Again, Jean, thanks for helping us get the academic year off to a great start.."

"Although I knew the current high school/college generation was very different from my own, I was not able to specifically articulate why. Now I know a fascinating wealth of research that describes this phenomenon ... It really gave me a deeper understanding of students today (and my own children) ... WOW -- I love how the data validates some of what we already knew. I am definitely changing what I say to my sons."
