SFCC welcomes parenting students
Santa Fe Community College announces it has been recognized with the prestigious FamilyU Seal for its exceptional support of parenting students. This recognition is awarded by Generation Hope, an organization dedicated to fostering the success and economic mobility of student parents. It was one of five colleges to receive that designation. The accolade honors institutions and organizations for their exceptional support of parenting students.
SFCC President Becky Rowley, Ph.D., said “Santa Fe Community College is deeply honored by this recognition. At SFCC, we believe in the transformative power of education for all students, including those who are also parents. By championing innovative programs and policies, we’ve helped parenting students not only succeed in their educational pursuits but also build pathways to economic mobility and brighter futures for their families.”
This month is National Student Parent Month. The FamilyU Seal highlights SFCC’s unwavering commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for student parents.
