Student Parents

More than 1 in 10 students at UW is a parent.  On top of juggling classes and jobs, these classmates also struggle to raise their children. One study shows that lack of childcare is among the top barriers to successful degree completion.  GPSS advocates on behalf of student parents at UW.
