    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

    Early Days With an IR: Identifying and Adding Content

    Get PDF
    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
