Student-Parent Data Stories: How Collecting Data on Parenting Students Affects Policy, Practice, and People’s Lives

To kick off National Student Parent Month, join the Urban Institute, Generation Hope, and the National Governors Association for an event that will highlight stories about efforts to collect data on college students’ parenting status and why these data matter. This session will be valuable to anyone considering how to use data to promote equal opportunity in higher education for students caring for children, especially audience members involved in state and college policymaking.
