New #StudentParent research! 📣 We’re excited to release our newest report, “On a Journey for Families: Lessons Learned from Colleges Investing in Student Parents,” which shares eight key insights from our inaugural #FamilyU Cohort. ➡️ https://t.co/msWys0XtNZ

@SupportGenHope It is amazing to witness the synergy that comes with convening cross-functional #FamilyU teams of decision-makers. Together, they have been able to remove barriers that have previously felt like mountains when only working within their department or division.

[Jamie Williams @JMWilliams333]

@CalCompetes @SupportGenHope ^^^broadening awareness and normalizing use of these existing tools and flexibility can also go a long way.

[Jamie Williams @JMWilliams333]

@CalCompetes @SupportGenHope @EdTrustWest This was such a powerful event. The student parent panel was especially moving and emphasized that student parents are willing to put in the work to make changes, but the onus of institutional change cannot be solely on them. Also, change is needed NOW.

[Jamie Williams @JMWilliams333]

@ewaspeaks @SupportGenHope @NewAmericaEd Yes! And this requirement cannot stop with IHEs only using FAFSA data to identify students with dependents. We need comprehensive, disaggregated data that can be shared and leveraged to inform policy and practice change within IHEs and across the landscape.

[Jamie Williams @JMWilliams333]

@AspenAscend @SupportGenHope I love @AspenAscend's playbook and the emphasis it places on the expertise of student parents as co-creators of solutions!

[Jamie Williams @JMWilliams333]

@DMCarr_94 @SupportGenHope ^this! disaggregation is key to revealing the systemic barriers that inhibit #studentparentsuccess.

@SupportGenHope Hey everyone! Jamie from Generation Hope coming to you from northern Virginia. I smiled this morning when I went to wake up my daughter and she said she needed a couple of minutes to get up and get ready for school because she was "still hatching".

Without congressional action, parents in Arkansas, Montana, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and D.C. could see HALF of their child care programs close. Congress can avoid this by approving $16B in emergency funding to #SolveChildCare

@GMUPres @GeorgeMasonU @MasonULife Thank you so much for hosting some of Mason's parenting students and giving them a platform to share their lived experiences. #StudentParentSuccess @SupportGenHope

When we talk about #StudentParentSuccess, we're talking about racial equity. We at @SupportGenHope are so excited to have Fabiola Mora facilitating a conversation about the connections of Systemic Racism & Higher Education. #FamilyU #AntiRacistWork

[Jamie Williams @JMWilliams333]

@SupportGenHope Hey friends! I'm one of the Higher Ed Impact Managers with @SupportGenHope. I'm so excited so many folx are ready to change systems to work for student parents. Favorite back-to-school activity was receiving new school supplies🖍️

[Christine Wolff-Eisenberg @cwolffeisenberg]

@SupportGenHope Several @hope4college colleagues recently found that nearly *all* single Black and Latinx student parents with young children don't have enough food to eat or a stable place to live. The value of connecting to public benefits cannot be underestimated. @alicax #StudentParentChat

The moment they graduate, Black college graduates owe $7,400 more on average than white graduates. Over the next few years, the debt gap more than triples. Cancel it.
