I thought this was a cool story.

[$10 million dorm at College of St. Mary benefits single mothers](http://www.omaha.com/news/metro/million-dorm-at-college-of-st-mary-benefits-single-mothers/article_ede278c5-5a9d-54b8-b2df-d88fa3261d17.html)

> College of St. Mary has offered single mothers on-campus housing since 2000, but a dedicated residence hall was built for the Mothers Living and Learning program in 2012. It’s the newest building on campus, and a $10 million investment the college says reflects its commitment to improve the experience and graduation rates for single moms.

Seems like a good idea.
