"
i remember looking into [my mother's face]
and seeing a look of sadness in it. i knew in that
instant that my life would never be the same and
that i was crossing a barrier that no one in my
family had ever experience[d].
"

Inequalities Remain for Degree
Seekers
Several indicators show that a wide gap remains between higher income
families and lower income families when it comes to students enrolling
in and graduating from postsecondary institutions, according to a
trend report recently published by the Pell Institute for the Study of
Opportunity in Higher Education (Pell Institute) and the Alliance for
Higher Education and Democracy (AHEAD). One indicator showed
that "Eighty-one percent of 18-24 year olds from the top family income
quartile were enrolled in postsecondary education in 2012, compared
with just 45 percent of those in the bottom quartile."
To view all the indicators or to download the report, go to www.
pellinstitute.org, click on the publications tab, and select the title Indicators
of Higher Education Equity in the United States - 45 Year Trend Report.

Student Safety:
There's an App
for That
The digital market for new
methods of ensuring safety is
expanding rapidly. These apps,
designed for smartphones and
tablets, provide the user with a
variety of GPS, text, video, audio,
and alarms that can make a
lifesaving difference.
Apps are no longer just passive
programs. Those such as bSafe
and Watch Over Me
require the user to
frequently check in
using their phone
for a predetermined
period of time while
walking across campus
or going for a run.
If the user misses a
check-in, the phone
automatically sends
alerts out to emergency
contacts and includes
the GPS location of
the phone. Other
personal safety apps,
such as TapShield, go
beyond alerts to get
help; they allow users
to see crime information for their
current area and connect them
to police dispatchers to report
suspicious activity.
Cory Yeffet, student body
president at the University of
Florida in Gainesville, notes that
many students on campus use
TapShield. "It creates a new twoway channel of communication
between our students and the
authorities to prevent and deter
incidents - like campus sexual
assault, mental health issues, or
violence - before they happen."
