National generational expert Mark C. Perna (pictured) is scheduled to appear at the University of Arkansas Community College at Batesville (UACCB), Thursday, Jan. 5, at 9 a.m., in Independence Hall.
The event is free to the public, and all are encouraged to attend. Attendees will discover new insights “…to shift the paradigm in education, employment, and economic development. Mark’s message will transform their perspective on the younger generations and how to motivate their highest performance,” UACCB said in a release announcing the appearance.
“We are excited to bring Mark to campus and Independence County to share his insights on how to connect with Gen Z to adapt education to meet the needs of a changing workforce and economy.” Dr. Brian Shonk, UACCB chancellor, said.
Perna is a bestselling author, Forbes contributor, and thought leader who will challenge everything you think you know about Gen Z — and reveal what they need to thrive, according to the release.
“Mark has helped countless educators, employers, parents, and community leaders to bridge the generational divide. This event will provide Perna’s fresh perspective on how you can make a difference for the young people you serve,” the release said.
