Meet Nanayaa Obeng, our Learning & Innovation Coordinator! She brings her dedication to racial equity, systemic change, and justice to supporting our team’s work with our #FamilyU Cohorts and other technical assistance partnerships.

Fantastic news from @HowardCC, one of the institutions in our 2023 #FamilyU Cohort! Our research has found that nearly 80% of the #StudentParents we serve wish their colleges did more to support their child care needs, and on-campus child care centers are a great strategy.

One big theme of our #FamilyU plenary discussion: DATA 🎯 — not just getting creative about what data to collect and how to collect it, but how to USE it to create meaningful change on campus. #GenHOPE24

“You know they’re there, but I don’t ever recall saying ‘student-parent’ together,” @VSU_1882’s Regina Barnett-Tyler shares, reflecting on her work before joining the #FamilyU Cohort. “It was the biggest ‘aha’ moment ever.” #GenHOPE24

Joining the #FamilyU Cohort helped @montgomerycoll’s Dr. John Hamman realize he wasn’t alone in caring about parents in college. “There were so many people who were student parent champions, but we didn’t know each other!” #GenHOPE24

As @montgomerycoll’s #FamilyU Fellow, Najah Mills got to work closely with institutional leadership to create change for #StudentParents: “Speaking directly with MC’s president meant both my concerns and my successes were heard, evaluated, and met with action.” #GenHOPE24

#FamilyU Student Parent Fellow Najah Mills reflects on her tumultuous journey as a young parent in #HigherEd: “I knew that the one thing I needed most was someone to provide an ear to listen to, a shoulder to lean on, and a little empathy.” #GenHOPE24

It’s time for our afternoon plenary, “The FamilyU Transformation”! We’ll get to hear from #HigherEd institutional leaders who participated in our #FamilyU Cohorts, as well as Generation Hope Scholar and FamilyU Student Parent Fellow Najah Mills. #GenHOPE24

A special moment from our plenary: #FamilyU Student Parent Fellow Dwayne McMillen shares how he found Black men mentors as a student father at a PWI, giving a shout out to @MadisonCollege President Dr. Jack Daniels, who is in the audience at #GenHOPE24.
