This phenomenological study of the communication primarily between two cohorts--Millennials/Generation Y and Baby Boomers in a collegiate, multigenerational environment, highlights the characteristics and values of both groups in efforts to decrease the gap in communication in the classroom which may assist in better communication between the generational cohorts in the classroom. Continuous technological advances may greatly contribute to the communication gap. Educators, parents, employers, and marketing specialists have a vested interest in understanding how to decrease the communication gap within these major cohorts. Perhaps authors Lynne Lancaster and David Stillman said it best in a book creatively entitled When Generation Collide Who They Are. Why They Clash. How to Solve the Generational Puzzle at Work (Kohnen, 2018, p. 76), where they refer to Millennials as "diamonds in the rough." Adaptations in human resources and collegiate environments have been noted worldwide. The Millennials or Generation Y have been referred to as the "next great generation" by authors such as Andrew Brownstein, Neil Howe, William Strauss, a sampling of contributors to the research on Millennials. With Baby Boomers retiring at alarming rates, it is imperative that the embracement of a multigenerational environment occurs to facilitate a smooth transition of new leadership. This qualitative research study offers insight on the characteristics and values of specific generations with an understanding of helping to facilitate a harmonious multigeneration environment--the classroom, which will undoubtedly have implications on the workplace.
