[Natfinwellness] Free text program to 'nudge' students

[Carissa Uhlman]

Good morning,

At this year's HEFW Summit, Morgan McMillan and I presented a session on Nudge theory, or how you can use choice architecture to help guide students to more desirable choices. We presented some ideas on how you could use nudges in the work you do every day with students, and so I wanted to let you know about another nudge resource you can add to your toolbox.

Up Next is a free text program from Better Make Room, part of Michelle Obama's Reach Higher initiative to improve college access and completion. It does all the nudge heavy lifting for you by providing students with timely text reminders to keep moving forward with all things college, whether they're high school students, current college students, or college grads. Here's a sample of the kind of interactions provided by the program:
