We’ve been talking about the agency of the future since 2009. Back when every agency NEEDED to start using QR codes or they were going to be left in the dust.

Studies show that students who are both low-income and first-generation college learners have a 21% chance of completing a bachelor’s degree in six years, compared with a 66% chance among other students.

The same disparity can be seen in enrollment rates.
