Abstract:
|
It's not easy being a caregiver! 30% of undergraduate students have some type of caregiving responsibilities while completing their degree (Gallup, 2021). These responsibilities include pregnancy, caring for children, supporting elderly parents, and more. Learn best practices for helping students navigate these life events in this hot topic session from the Adult Learners Advising Community. We will also hold time for an open discussion to voice your concerns and questions for advising students with caregiver responsibilities. While our focus is adult learners, we intend this session to be useful for advisors of all students including traditional, graduate, and professional students. |
