Montgomery College was named a 2023-2026 FamilyU seal recipient for its strides in supporting students who are parents.
About 15% of students at Montgomery College parent while they attend college.
The college was named an Exemplar institution by Generation Hope, which created the FamilyU seal, and will receive $25,000 to continue its efforts advancing student parent work.
“It’s an incredible honor for the College to be recognized as an exemplary institution by Generation Hope,” said Ja’Bette Lozupone, director of Student Affairs at Montgomery College, in a statement.
“The FamilyU seal not only represents MC’s achievements to date by dedicated staff, faculty and engaged student parents, but it also signifies our ongoing commitment to equity and inclusion for all students at MC.”
She added, “With the monetary award, we will continue to invest in critical resources and 2Gen approaches that support the success of parenting students’ and their families while at the College, and beyond.”
