6 Nudges Weight-watchers of college completion Behavior interventions, nudges Study skills How to deal with academic setbacks Organize time and responsibilities Positive peer academic pressure Data identifies students who need active outreach Are we leveraging technology to empower students, advisors, and faculty? If we don t provide empowerment tools, will students get the information elsewhere? What else could we do if we leveraged empowerment tools?
