Approximately 25% of all undergraduate students are parents, according to data from the National Postsecondary Student Aid Study. Of the almost 4 million students who are raising children while in college, about 70% are mothers and 30% are fathers.
Furthermore, across all institutional models of higher education, 42% of all undergraduate parenting students attend community college. This is the strong majority.
The annual Pregnant and Parenting Students Conference seeks to give voice to those stories, celebrate their resilience, highlight their excellence, encourage their hearts, and elevate the awareness and resources to support their success.
Featured Presenters include Whitnet Gilliard, Kim B. Miller, Ariel Ventura, and Irene Hernandez.
