The Bootstrap Narrative
2023-08-16 11:00 - 11:30 | Fond du Lac Campus, Room A-112, 235 N National Ave, Fond du Lac, 54935
The bootstrap narrative is essentially the belief that a person in the United States who works hard, assumes personal responsibility and maintains a strong moral center can accomplish anything. Unfortunately, for many students from low-income families, this narrative does not reflect their experiences at institutions of higher education. Many intelligent and hardworking low-income students struggle to overcome food insecurity, homelessness and/or the mental and emotional stress adversely impacting their ability to earn a degree. Join Jackie Morgan in discussing this narrative and how emergency funding and community resources can address and alleviate student barriers.

Student Parents or Parenting Students?
2023-08-18 11:30 - 12:00 | Fond du Lac Campus, Room A-112, 235 N National Ave, Fond du Lac, 54935
Finding the right terminology to talk about this demographic is a complicated process. Parenting students are a diverse bunch, and their experiences can vary widely depending on other identities they hold. The complexity of the language teaches us a lesson about the complexity of student parents as a whole: They are not a monolithic group. That’s important for us to remember as we work to understand their needs and find ways to support their success. Join Jackie Morgan in discussing the unique parenting student demographic, some MPTC statistics and ways to support these students!
