Preparing millennials as digital citizens and socially and environmentally responsible business professionals in a socially irresponsible climate
As of 2015, a millennial born in the 1990's became the largest population in
the workplace and are still growing. Studies indicate that a millennial is tech
savvy but lag in the exercise of digital responsibility. In addition, they are
passive towards environmental sustainability and fail to grasp the importance
of social responsibility. This paper provides a review of such findings
relating to business communications educators in their classrooms. The
literature should enable the development of a millennial as an excellent global
citizen through business communications curricula that emphasizes digital
citizenship, environmental sustainability and social responsibility. The
impetus for this work is to provide guidance in the development of courses and
teaching strategies customized to the development of each millennial as a
digital, environmental and socially responsible global citizen

Social Capital and International Migration from Latin America
We combine data from the Latin American Migration Project and the Mexican Migration Project to estimate models predicting the likelihood of taking of first and later trips to the United States from five nations: Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and Peru. The models test specific hypotheses about the effects of social capital on international migration and how these effects vary with respect to contextual factors. Our findings confirm the ubiquity of migrant networks and the universality of social capital effects throughout Latin America. They also reveal how the sizes of these effects are not uniform across settings. Social capital operates more powerfully on first as opposed to later trips and interacts with the cost of migration. In addition, effects are somewhat different when considering individual social capital (measuring strong ties) and community social capital (measuring weak ties). On first trips, the effect of strong ties in promoting migration increases with distance whereas the effect of weak ties decreases with distance. On later trips, the direction of effects for both individual and community social capital is negative for long distances but positive for short distances

Early Days With an IR: Identifying and Adding Content
When I started as an IR manager at Nova Southeastern University (September 2014), the IR had been live for 6 months and one of the in process pilot projects was a journal with 219 back issues dating to 1990. The journal was still on the demonstration site when I started. In this presentation I will discuss the ways in which I interacted with the journal staff, the full migration of all issues and the ensuing projects that have developed due to the primary editor’s interest. These include a conference, book publishing and four additional journals. One of the most important workflow methods I used was the Batch Revise tool to upload multiple issues at once.
As an IR manager who also works in the University Archives, I have firsthand experience with the archival collections as well as the ability to direct what is chosen for digitization and inclusion in the repository. In this presentation, I will discuss a few of the projects which we have focused on at Nova Southeastern University and how several of them have created goodwill relations with administrative staff involved in Development and Community and Donor Relations
