September is the traditional month when students head back to school. It\u2019s also a time when some of their parents return to school too.<\/p>\n

With that in mind, September is designated National Student Parent Success Month, and 51ÁÔÆæ is planning several events to celebrate.<\/p>\n

51ÁÔÆæ is among the few universities nationally that has a program specifically designed for college students who are also parents. The Student Parent Success Program<\/a> offers an array of support services to help those who are juggling family responsibilities with academics to reach their goals.<\/p>\n

The program offers resources<\/a> to all students who are parents. Currently, the office estimates more than 1,300 students at 51ÁÔÆæ are attending class while raising children.<\/p>\n

The program provides students with a support team to offer advice, connections to professional and personal resources, workshops, childcare assistance and the opportunity to build connections with other student parents at all 51ÁÔÆæ campuses.<\/p>\n

Here are some of the Student Parent Success Month events at 51ÁÔÆæ:<\/p>\n
