A new guide\u2014 Nudges, Norms, and New Solutions<\/a><\/em> \u2014is now available for educators as they develop strategies to assist college-bound students. A Nudge Hotline has also been established to help counselors and others customize the guide\u2019s advice for the communities they serve.<\/p>\n

Both the guide and the hotline are free and were developed through a collaboration between the Nudge4 Solutions Lab at the University of Virginia and ideas42, a nonprofit that applies behavioral science to today\u2019s toughest social problems.<\/p>\n

Former First Lady Michelle Obama\u2019s Reach Higher initiative is a project partner. Topics covered in the guide include access to college, student finances, and college life and academics.<\/p>\n
