"Many of the baby-boomer parents of Millennials were involved in social-change movements when they were in college. They feel passionate about getting involved and realize that they can make a difference. Often called “helicopter parents” because they “hover” over the lives of their sons and daughters from preschool to college graduation, many of them are in fact reasonable and patient when dealing with the university. In many cases, the parents are willing to help the university by recruiting students, hiring students for internships and permanent positions, and serving on various university advisory boards. Their involvement, and that of the Millennials themselves, has resulted in increased volunteerism and community service and a greater appreciation for diversity."
