In this C-VILLE Live video, we sat down with millennials—both “old” and “young” millennials—to discuss the perception of their generation, what they want to be known for and what the bring to the table in terms of the future of society. Both C-VILLE staff and people we interviewed for this week’s cover feature sat in on the discussion.

We’ve all heard the buzzwords, both positive and negative, used to describe the millennial generation: digital natives, entitled, tech-savvy, purpose-driven, lazy. But how does that generation feel about its perception? And what do others who interact with millennials have to say about them?

We posed those questions to members of the millennial generation as well as people who work closely with them in this week’s feature story.

And at 11:30am Thursday, March 24, we are sitting down with a group of millennials to talk about their generation in a C-VILLE Live roundtable discussion. What are their goals? What do they think their generation’s legacy will be? Do they embrace the term millennials?
