Every individual has the power to make a difference in society beyond their professional role.

Let’s talk about another Gen Z bright spot: they have a strong sense of social justice. I’ve been interviewing teachers and professors about what they are seeing in this latest cohort of young people. I had a fascinating discussion with one of my favorite thinkers, Hub Brown, Dean of the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications. He shared how this latest generation feels a call to action – on climate, on race, and on a variety of other issues.
