- Abstract
In the last two decades, educators at colleges and universities have been observing what many take to be a fundamental shift in students' values. While students in previous decades showed concern for social and humanitarian issues, students in recent years seem to be increasingly concerned with their own careers and financial security. Recent studies have confirmed this trend, revealing a growing individualism among college students and declining interests in politics and civic engagement. A number of higher education institutions have responded to this trend by establishing leadership development programs, volunteer and community service centers and other programs designed to involve students as social participants in their institutions and communities.
