🎓 Student Success Must Include Student-Parents 🧸📚 Across Kentucky, 1 in 5 college students is raising a child, yet most campuses aren’t designed with them in mind. According to research, only 18% of parenting students earn a degree within 6 years, compared to 54% of traditionally aged, nonparenting students. And yet—they perform just as well or better academically. The problem isn't capability. It’s lack of support. This new Childcare Solutions Grant from the Kentucky Student Success Collaborative is an invitation for Kentucky campuses to change that. With $60K in funding and support, institutions can develop and launch childcare solutions that support undergraduate student parents through strategy and early action. We already have some standout programs in Kentucky—but we need more. More innovation. More recognition of caregiving as part of our student success agenda. More investment in solutions. 📊 Completing a degree results in 3x higher lifetime earnings for student mothers compared to enrolling without finishing (Anderson, 2022). This isn’t just a student issue—it’s an economic mobility issue. 📌 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/g8-TiuqK https://lnkd.in/grkRNcwC 👉 Tag a Kentucky campus that should apply. #StudentParents #ChildcareSolutions #StudentSuccess #BasicNeeds #EconomicMobility #KYHigherEd #PostsecondaryPolicy

One of my favorite gems from the Louisville Office for Women Connectors program was the “Telling your Leadership Story” workshop led by OFW Ambassador Angela Masden During this session we worked through guided prompts from Angela’s book “Telling Your Story in Leadership for the Women in Leadership Workbook.” One of which was to create a rap (or in my case, a spoken word) that we would consider our leadership flow. This free writing exercise was so much fun. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing all of the women leaders share theirs, and I hope that you enjoy this snippet of mine.
