This chapter discusses the emergent use of digital technology to inspire, connect, and sustain student activism on campus. An overview of student activism, opportunities, and challenges of this technology, along with recent case studies and implications for practice, are presented.

Within student affairs and higher education, technology is consistently a major topic of discussion. When placed in the context of the work of Lawrence Kohlberg, a new perspective is added to this dialogue. This paper addresses the gap between perceived and actual realities regarding moral development and current technology in higher education. __________________________________________________________________________________

The Occupy Wall Street (OWS) movement, when viewed within proper historical context, can be considered part of an American tradition of higher education activism. The movement's pioneering use of social media, which was in part inspired by activists within the Arab Spring, allowed OWS to organize and disseminate information with efficiency. Social media also helped to build the connections that were made between OWS activists and those within higher education, while subsequently providing documentation of these same connections in online forums. This chapter's analysis of OWS tactics provides evidence that social media will be integral to the organization and promotion of future activist movements within higher education and beyond.
