#MillennialMatters: A Take Two event exploring all things Gen Y
RSVPs have reached capacity for this event. Please join us here to watch the Livestream on Thursday at 11:30am!
Millennials; you’re lazy, entitled and spend way too much time on your smartphones. Sweeping generalizations, of course, but all stubborn stereotypes that get repeated again and again (like we just did there.) Take Two wants to change the narrative.
For the 83 million people born between 1980 and 2000, technology, recession, a tough job market and expensive housing are all hallmarks of the millennial experience. Yet Gen Y is also one of the healthiest, most educated and diverse populations in the nation.
So what does it mean to be a millennial today in Southern California? What are the challenges and the upsides of being part of the tech generation? For the answers, Take Two goes to the source.
Join host A Martinez at Cal State Fullerton on Thursday April 21 from 11:30 am for a series of honest discussions about employment, finance, housing, politics, activism, technology, love and more.
