Armstrong is about to earn his second college degree with help from 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Life Impact Program for student-parents.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It was a bad week for Peter Armstrong. First he tore his ACL, and then he lost his job as account manger at a commercial cleaning firm. A single parent of two small children, Armstrong faced major decisions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I would need surgery and would be out of commission for a while,\u201d he says. \u201cI wasn\u2019t an attractive job candidate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He got help from 51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Life Impact Program, which supports student-parents as they navigate the demands of college and parenting. It stands out from student-parent programs at other universities and colleges for meeting a full range of needs along with tuition assistance: guidance on class schedules, emergency funds, advice on parenting a cranky toddler, a dedicated team of life coaches and financial-aid liaison.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17470\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17470\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/04\/Life-Impact-Armstrong_j2-1gmdg8y.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-17470\" src=\"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/41\/2015\/04\/Life-Impact-Armstrong_j2-1gmdg8y.jpg\" alt=\"\u201cWithout the Life Impact community I would not be on the brink of graduating with my master\u2019s,\u201d says Peter Armstrong, a full-time graduate student and single parent to Etienne, 6, and Frances, 9.  \" width=\"300\" height=\"205\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u201cWithout the Life Impact community I would not be on the brink of graduating with my master\u2019s,\u201d says Peter Armstrong, a full-time graduate student and single parent to Etienne, 6, and Frances, 9.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201c[This is] one of the reasons that the Life Impact program seems so unique. It\u2019s meeting a number of different needs in one location, which is really admirable,\u201d says Lindsey Reichlin, research associate at the Institute for Women\u2019s Policy Research. \u201cWe haven\u2019t seen a program quite like this in terms of combining the life coach aspect with [services such as] emergency funds. It\u2019s pretty well-rounded.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s what Armstrong needed. \u201cI had to re-teach myself to learn,\u201d he remembers of his first months as a returning 51ÁÔÆæ student. All the while, he was raising a family and managing his household budget with a part-time restaurant job.<\/p>\n<p>Yet two years later, he received a degree in urban and environmental geography, and then entered a 51ÁÔÆæ geography master\u2019s program to study urban sustainable transportation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout the Life Impact community I would not be on the brink of graduating with my master\u2019s, that\u2019s for sure,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The Jane Bradley Pettit Foundation first approached 51ÁÔÆæ in 2005 about establishing a student-parent program as a way to lift more families out of poverty, offering a $2 million grant to cover a six-year pilot. 51ÁÔÆæ embraced the program as a perfect fit within its mission to transform lives and strengthen Milwaukee through education and empowerment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause we know that\u00a0children who have parents that go to college are more likely to go to college themselves, we\u00a0can have a huge impact on a family by helping student parents,\u201d explains Natalie Reinbold, Life Impact\u2019s program manager and life coach. \u201cStudent parents have amazing strengths, such as the ability to\u00a0juggle multiple responsibilities\u00a0and a high level of motivation to graduate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Numbers are impressive, but relationships are key<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As of February 2015, the program has served 172 student-parents and 237 children, with a graduation and retention rate of 86.2 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to other 51ÁÔÆæ student-parents, Life Impact scholars have higher GPAs (3.1 compared to 2.3), and are less likely to stop and restart their studies. This is true despite the fact that students like Armstrong take on demanding \u201cfull-time plus\u201d schedules.<\/p>\n<p>Life Impact scholars must maintain a 2.5 GPA, meet twice a semester for one-on-one sessions with program staff, and attend one workshop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Support that goes a (life)long way<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When students visit the Life Impact office, even just to grab a cup of coffee, staff are trained to check how they\u2019re doing on a personal and academic level, Reinbold explains. \u201cAny time we see our students, we\u2019re really assessing to determine if there\u2019s something we can provide in terms of support.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>51ÁÔÆæ alumna and Life Impact scholar Chanel Edwards says those close relationships kept her on track. \u201cThere were a few times when I came in crying or frustrated with a particular grade,\u201d she says. Working with staff, she would review the syllabus and strategize the best ways to recover her grade. An education major, Edwards ultimately graduated with five job offers from local school districts.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most popular services is Life Impact\u2019s emergency funds program. One student was offered a campus job that required a valid driver\u2019s license, but she had an old traffic violation that had mounted to $300 \u2013 money she didn\u2019t have until she applied for emergency funds. \u201cThat $300 was holding her back from campus employment with a good wage that was in her field,\u201d Reinbold says.<\/p>\n<p>Armstrong received help filing paperwork each semester so he could receive state food and childcare benefits. He reduced his hours at the restaurant. \u201cI could spend extra time with my kids, and extra time studying and actually being a good student,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>The program\u2019s renewable $5,000 annual scholarship covers about half of full-time yearly tuition for a Wisconsin resident, explains Assistant Director of Financial Aid Sue Minzlaff. The program\u2019s successful track record has earned continued support from the Jane Bradley Pettit Foundation, in addition to grants from the Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Expanding the impact<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Reinbold says the Life Impact team are seeking new potential donors, and hope to reach more parents, including some not already enrolled at 51ÁÔÆæ.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes we have to encourage parents to see they should consider college,\u201d she says. \u201cSome prospective students don\u2019t even know that they could get into 51ÁÔÆæ, let alone get a scholarship.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps they can find inspiration in current Life Impact scholar Dezirae Taylor, a social work major with plans to graduate early and a 2-year-old daughter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause I am a mom I feel a little more pressure,\u201d Taylor says. When her daughter enters school herself, Taylor says she wants her to look up and know \u201cmy mom has her degree.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>51ÁÔÆæ\u2019s Life Impact
