A resolution designating September 2023 as "National Student Parent Month".
SRES 374 is a symbolic Senate resolution designating September 2023 as "National Student Parent Month." It recognizes approximately 4 million student parents enrolled in postsecondary education - over 70% women, including many single mothers and students of color - who face significant challenges like food/housing insecurity, balancing work and childcare, and lower degree completion rates. The resolution expresses the Senate’s support for their contributions but has no legal effect or new policy provisions. It highlights their unique circumstances without proposing concrete solutions. This is a commemorative gesture, not a legislative measure with binding requirements.
