This year, the California Alliance for Student Parent Success, in partnership with Cal Poly's School of Education, is proud to host its annual Summit at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo—a campus nationally recognized for its innovative and intentional support for parenting students and a recent university awardee of the International Association of Maternal Action and Scholarship (IAMAS).
With the theme “Innovate, Implement, Inspire,” the Summit will gather student parents, educators, researchers, and advocates across California to share promising practices and advance meaningful change in higher education.
Your support will go towards helping Cal Poly's School of Education fund the participation of student parent leaders, Cal Poly affiliates, and allies committed to this work. These individuals are most impacted by higher education policies, and those working daily to create more equitable, inclusive systems. By covering registration costs and providing meals and snacks for parenting students and their children, your donation helps ensure these voices are centered and celebrated.
“The Summit shows me that institutions can rise to meet us—
right where our dreams for our children and our futures begin."
