Pendleton, Virginia; Atella, Julie
Wilder Research
This analysis looked at the impact of Student Parent Help Center services on undergraduate student parents' academic outcomes. Results from this analysis suggest that undergraduate student parents who interact with the Student Parent Help Center staff and access its referrals and programs are significantly more likely to graduate, remain enrolled each semester, and have a higher cumulative GPA than student parents who completed a SPHC intake but never used these services. [Raise the Barr Foundation provided funding.]
