What are the risk factors of poverty when considering higher education? What are the emotional and social challenges? Students are dropping out because of high cost of tuition, lack of support, and mental and emotional issues, among others. College tution increassed 1375% since 1978, and many students don’t know where to go to find financial support. For this project, I decided to create a short animated video for the students to promote an app that services as an additional layer of support for students. I also created a short video for instructors to encourage them to know their students.
