Making Student-Parents Visible On College Campuses

About one in five college students, or 22% of all undergraduate students, are parents. Most identify as women or students of color, particularly Black and Latina students. Although student parents often perform better academically than their non-parenting peers, they are less likely to graduate from college. September is designated as National Student-Parent Month. Join us for a timely discussion on how institutions can support their students who are parents to complete their college journeys successfully! Bianca Ramirez, a former student parent and the Founder & CEO of Student Parents Empowered, shares her insights into the needs and experiences of student parents.
