WEBINAR

Promoting Single Mother Success in Higher Education: New Data & Promising
Strategies

November 20, 2019 | 2:00-3:00pm ET

[3]

Single mother students, representing nearly two million undergraduate
students, face a range of obstacles to college graduation. Targeted
supports, including access to affordable early learning opportunities, can
help them graduate and improve their childrenâ??s chances of success, yet
many colleges and universities are unaware of student parentsâ?? needs for
support services or how to provide them effectively.

This webinar, co-hosted by the [4]Institute for Womenâ??s Policy Research
(IWPR) and [5]Education Design Lab, will feature high-level updates from
the [6]Single Moms Success Design Challenge and new IWPR research on
supporting single mothersâ?? success in higher education. IWPR and
Education
Design Lab will share promising strategies that institutions, communities,
policymakers, and local agencies can use to promote the success of single
mother college students and their families. IWPR will discuss findings from
new research on coordinating across early learning and higher education
systems and partnerships between Head Start and colleges and universities
to support single mothers in college.

Supporting the economic mobility of single mothers requires connecting
systems at the local, state, and national levels. This webinar will share
opportunities to maximize benefits for families, colleges, and communities
through innovative cross-systems policy and practice.
