By Richard Hunt\n\u201cI\u2019m sort of in a living laboratory\u201d filled with Gen Z-ers, explains ORU President, Dr. Billy Wilson. He sees great promise in Gen Z, who have already endured many storms in life. \u201cThe truth is, Generation Z has never known a time on planet Earth when things are just normal.\u201d The generation, a person born between roughly 1995 and 2015, \u201chas been born into a world of terror, formed by life-changing events like 9/11, school shootings, and danger around them all the time. They went through an economic downtown in 2008. They\u2019re of course young adults, and emerging young adults as teenagers, in a global pandemic.\u201d That\u2019s why Dr. Billy Wilson\u2019s guidance book is called \u201cGeneration Z: Born for the Storm.\u201d
