Equity and Human-Centered Design for Single-Mother Learner Engagement
Thursday, September 12, 2024 | 1:00-2:00 p.m. Central
Approximately 1.7 million undergraduate students are single-mother learners. Yet, they are rarely the focus of campus programming. While more campuses are turning their focus to supporting single mothers toward completion, single-mother learners need comprehensive, end-to-end solutions that can lead to long-term, family-sustaining careers. This webinar explores how campuses can apply human-centered design to develop learner-centric programs and partnerships that address the specific needs and motivations of single mothers and other student parents. Drawing from the experience of the Single Moms Success Design Challenge, this session shares new models that seek to dramatically boost education outcomes for single-mother learners and connect them to academic and career pathways that improve their families’ economic mobility and well-being.
