    FACULTY AND STAFF NOTABLES

    Melissa Taylor, UBM Intermediate in the Division of Student Affairs, had an article published in “Industrial and Commercial Training” titled “Xennials: a microgeneration in the workplace.” The paper investigates the microgeneration between Generation X and the Millennial generation. It was discovered the exact years distinguishing generations were unclear because generations fade into one another without a distinct starting and stopping point. This overlap creates a cusp generation or microgeneration. The findings suggest microgeneration employees could aid in reducing workplace generational tensions.
