As a #StudentParent🎓, @CUNY_Fatherhood was instrumental in my educational journey. The Parent Powered Solutions Fund will award grants to programs like this to boost postsecondary success for parents like me! @AspenAscend

At @CUNY, all students need to use CUNY First to register for classes. Institutions can use a similar approach to drop surveys as a pop-up that are mandatory. @MonroeCC has done amazing work to collect student parent data as well. Learn more here:
Thank you for your incredible work, @iiJesusB! Fellow CUNY researcher and #studentparents advocate here! How can an inst best reach out to parenting students if they're just starting data collection? @AspenAscend

Free access to #ChildCare and work-study because when I was working in school and attending classes at the same place, it made it easier for me to focus a lot more than running around and having less time to focus on my studies.
@iiJesus @AspenAscend What is the one thing you wish colleges and universities would think about when trying to #StudentParents?

Advocates should not judge #StudentParents🎓 based on needs or their past. At @CUNY_Fatherhood, we work with students who have experienced incarceration and who have been absent. Our focus is to help them pick themselves up and reconnect with their kids if needed.
Thank you, @iiJesusB for advocating for #StudentParents and sharing your personal insight into parents' needs navigating postsecondary systems. What is one thing student parent advocates can do to better support student parents? @AspenAscend

The best people with knowledge of resources on campus are students. David Speal with @CUNY_Fatherhood helped connect students to helpful government programs, and as a student, I was aware of the opportunities and resources at @LaGuardiaCC.
Here is what we found when we surveyed #StudentParents as part of the #RealCollege Survey What could colleges do to help improve awareness and use of campus and government supports? @iiJesus @AspenAscend

If professors can do a combination of asynchronous and synchronous learning to help #StudentParents🎓 with time, it would be really helpful. You don’t know how many times I wanted to quit, but my professors were super flexible with deadlines which helped me graduate!!
@AspenAscend @CUNY_Fatherhood @ciet_lagcc @iiJesusB @iiJesusB this fall student parents face the dual dilemma of trying to complete their studies while potentially educating their children at home. How can higher Ed and other systems support them?

My involvement with @CUNY_Fatherhood led to more opportunities for me to grow as an advocate. As an Ascend Parent Advisor, my peers and I share our postsecondary experiences to help change policies and programs to better support #StudentParents🎓.
