Discussion Topic:
Did you know that 1 in 5 undergraduate college students today is a parent, and yet they're 10 times less likely to graduate? Fewer than 2% of teen mothers who have a baby before age 18 earn a college degree before age 30. You can help change these statistics by joining this CEO-only discussion facilitated by two highly accomplished leaders who began their journeys as student parents and have firsthand knowledge of the struggles this vulnerable population faces.
