Extended Abstract
Everyone needs a reminder, a nudge, a timely bit of information that keeps them on course. The University of Washington Tacoma, an urban-serving campus seeking to educated the "new traditionals" (adult, working, first-generation, Pell-eligible, under-represented minorities) has been in the forefront of personalized, timely text messages that remind, nudge, inform, encourage and counsel students who might not otherwise have the safety nets supporting them to persistence and graduation.
