The “Mindset List” was first published in 1998 and has since evolved into a well-known blog, an annual list, and a book. Created by Ron Nief, alongside fellow Beloit College Professor Tom McBride, this innovative index of insights explores cultural benchmarks involving each year’s college freshman class.
It was created to reflect the world view of entering first-year students when the authors first realized how much the 2002 class of college freshmen were shaped by the history and culture they had not experienced in their first 18 years. The list has also helped professors understand where their students “were coming from” by providing insights into the technology and references with which they grew up, and the zeitgeist that helped shape and form who they are. Utilizing the most recent findings from the “Mindset List,” eCampus.com designer Elizabeth Lovejoy has created a series of infographics that illustrate the culture of today’s college student. The eCampus.com “Mindset List” visuals will be featured in the eCampus.com library of college infographics, along with the online textbook retailer’s other highly popular illustrations depicting such relevant topics as the cost of school, the impact of student debt, and alcohol use on campus, to name a few.
“We find infographics are great communication tools when it comes to college culture,” said Matt Montgomery, president and CEO of eCampus.com. “They are designed to resonate with both college professors and students alike, allowing both generations to understand the history and culture that surrounds them and in turn, better understand and communicate with each other.”
