UD Starts Mobile Escort Service as Campus Security Measure; UD's Learning Assistance Center Takes Untraditional Approach to Lower Attrition Rate in Economics Courses

Abstract

Feature leads for the media: To increase security on campus, the University of Dayton has installed emergency phones and started a student escort program to provide safe rides at night to campus buildings, parking lots, residence halls and off-campus housing. Also, the Learning Assistance Center is paying top microeconomics students to take the course again and lead study groups to help others succeed in the high-attrition course.
