In upper education, only 14 schools get to be in the Big Ten (which in itself is strange); the rest of the colleges in those areas have to find ways to attract notice from students outside their areas.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most fun and ingenious marketing ideas is Beloit College&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beloit.edu\/mindset\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mindset List<\/a>. In 1999, the small liberal arts school in Wisconsin began publishing an annual compilation of the values that shape the worldview of students entering the college as 18-year-olds. It&#8217;s a way to remind professors to watch their references with freshmen.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beloit.edu\/mindset\/2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Class of 2021 Mindset List<\/a> was released Aug. 22 and it&#8217;s filled with its usual combination of trivia. For example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This year&#8217;s incoming freshmen are the last class to be born in the 1900s \u2013 the last of the millennials. Next year comes Generation Z.<\/li>\n<li>They have always had eHarmony to turn to for dating happiness.<\/li>\n<li>They have always been able to turn to a Monster for a job.<\/li>\n<li>There have always been emojis to cheer them up.<\/li>\n<li>Amazon has always been an efficient shopping option.<\/li>\n<li>Dora the Explorer has always been looking for something.<\/li>\n<li>Bill Clinton has always been Hillary Clinton&#8217;s aging husband.<\/li>\n<li>They&#8217;ve never heard the high-pitched whine of a dial-up modem.<\/li>\n<li>Ketchup has always come in green.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Mindset List has been featured on the NBC Nightly News and in Time magazine. Thanks to the list,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.beloit.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Beloit College<\/a>, a school of about 1,300 students, becomes part of the national conversation each year.
