Abstract:
|
"When we think of today's diverse student population, we often consider differences in ethnicity, religion, age, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status, but how often do we consider their parental status? If you work in undergraduate advisement, the answer is likely 'not often.' However, the U.S. Department of Education reports that in 2011-2012, about one-fourth (27.5%) of all undergraduate students had claimed dependent(s) and 15.2% of all students were single with dependent(s). The data begs the question - what support are we providing these students to ensure their success? This presentation will describe the research on pregnant and parenting students, and proposes and explores nine domains in which parenting students may need support. Attendees will evaluate their university's current efforts as well as share best practices and resources.
