National Student Parent Support Symposium

2020 National Student Parent Support Symposium went virtual! | May 27-29, 2020.

Recognizing the continuing urgency of COVID-19 and in compliance with recent university restrictions, the in-person National Student Parent Support Symposium at The Ohio State University on May 27-29 was canceled. Instead, the ACCESS Collaborative Program hosted a mini Virtual Student Parent Support Symposium (SPSS) on May 27 – May 29, 2020.

This nationally-acclaimed symposium brings together students, community and higher education professionals to discuss best practices, policies, research, program models, and community collaboration when supporting post-secondary parenting students and their families. The focus is on how to empower this unique college population while assisting them with overcoming barriers that may keep them from graduating.
