What happens when Gen Z pushes back on the AI narrative?

In his latest blog, The Voice of GenZ & AI, Chris M. explores the growing conversation around AI, student perspectives, and what many may be missing when discussing the next generation.

Drawing from generational research, experiences working with students, and recent reactions to AI-focused commencement speeches, Chris challenges us to move beyond assumptions and take a closer look at what Gen Z is actually telling us about education, technology, and the future of work.

How can educators, employers, and career services professionals better listen, engage, and partner with the next generation?

Heading to Pittsburgh for ? Don’t miss the unforgettable views around the city! Take a century-old cable car and see the best views of downtown Pittsburgh while riding one of the few remaining inclines in the country. Opened on May 20, 1877, the Duquesne Incline was rescued and restored by a group of local residents in 1963 and still delights residents and visitors with its original, elegant, wooden cable cars.

What stays with you long after an EACE conference ends?

For Rena’e Love, her 2025 EACE Conference experience sparked deeper reflection on belonging, leadership, employer engagement, and the impact we have on those around us.

As we look ahead to the 2026 EACE Annual Conference, her story is a reminder of the growth, relationships, and inspiration that await.
