The State of Pregnant & Parenting Students in California: Fostering a Sense of Belonging at CSUs

Student parents are a vital yet often overlooked population in our higher education systems. Generation Hope found that nationally, 40% of parenting students experience isolation and disconnection from their college community, while 20% of parenting students feel unwelcome on campus. While these statistics highlight the challenges faced by student parents, more targeted information is needed to improve support in California. Recognizing the need, EdTrust-West conducted their “Sense of Belonging” survey, which provided deeper insights into the student-parent experience throughout the California State University (CSU) system. The findings revealed important trends in the perceived sense of belonging on CSU campuses and the level of support students experience. 

Join us on December 12, 2024, as we dive into the key findings and discuss actionable strategies to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for pregnant an parenting students in the CSU system. Designed for practitioners, administrators, and advocates, the webinar will provide data-driven insights and practical solutions to better serve students in California.
