Parenting Resources
Nearly four million undergraduates are parents
(www.iwpr.org Briefing Paper #C496, April 2021).
At the June Anderson Center for Women and Nontraditional Students, we understand the additional level of responsibility our students with dependents have. Please see the resources we have available. If there are any resources you would like to suggest, please email jacwns@mtsu.edu.
Child Care Fund
Starting Fall 2022, The June Anderson Center will be offering a Child Care Fund to assist student parents in funding child care so that they may work on their education. Applications will be available June 1.
Students with Dependents on GROUPME!
If you are interested in joining a Students with Dependents GROUPME, please email jacwns@mtsu.edu for the group information.
Lactation Space on Campus
The June Anderson Center hosts a lactation space on the 3rd Floor of the Student Union Building. It is located in Room 332, around the corner from the restrooms. Please slide the marker located outside the door so that others know that a chair is in use. We have three chairs, each with a curtain for your privacy. There is also a sink located in the room. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding our lactation space, please feel free to stop into the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership (STU 330) or email us at jacwns@mtsu.edu.
