Abstract: As California State University (CSU) launches its Pregnant and Parenting Students Initiative to increase graduation rates for parenting students at its campuses and works to implement the Greater Accessibility, Information, Notice, and Support (GAINS) for Student Parents Act, an exciting window of opportunity has opened for student voice to inform campus actions and system-wide change. The purpose of this brief is to increase awareness of parenting students' experiences and help their voices influence policy and practice changes at the campus, system, and state levels to ensure they feel a strong sense of belonging and are supported in thriving. Fostering a strong sense of belonging on campus can be life-changing for California's parenting students by helping them achieve their aspirations of earning a degree. This brief offers findings from a survey of 200 parenting students across 13 California State University campuses. In the survey, students shared their experiences, shedding light on how to build a sense of belonging. Drawing directly from parenting students' responses, the brief offers five recommendations for specific actions that policymakers, system-level decision-makers, and campus leaders can take to increase parenting students' sense of belonging on campus and empower them to complete their degree.
