43、es, if your parents attended a college or university, there is a good chance that you will, too. Even if your parents did not go to college, you still have a good chance of completing higher education if your family is wealthy.But your chances are reduced if you come from a needy family, a community

45、g positive actions.A growing number of U.S. colleges and universities look to nudging as way to support poor, minority and first-generation students, They also are using it to increase overall graduation rates. Two common forms of nudging are emails to students and text messages to their mobile phon

46、es. Schools and other educational organizations keep in contact with students this way, offering advice and help when needed.However, Alejandra Acosta-a higher education policy expert at New America 一 notes that there are several qualities a nudge campaign must possess in order to be successful.Acos

47、ta says messages must be timely, meaning they reach college students well before the date by which a student is required to take action. Additionally nudges should be written clearly and provide as much information as possible. If students start to struggle in class, school officials should not just

48、 message them, saying they should seek academic support. The message should give information about what kinds of support the college or university offers and exactly how the student can make use of them. That is why nudges should possess interactive qualities, Acosta says. For example, students shou

49、ld be able to ask questions of school officials or be directed to a website for more information. In addition, colleges and universities must ensure their support services are in place and working as best they can.When nudges work, they can do a lot of good. In 2018, a nonprofit group launched a nud

50、ging campaign at four U.S. community colleges. They worked with nearly 10.000 first-year students at three such colleges in Ohio and one in Virginia.
