How Universities are Failing Student Parents Higher Ed Spotlight

When Nicole Lynn Lewis arrived on campus for the first time, she quickly realized there was very little support for student parents like herself. Now, as the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Generation Hope, Nicole has dedicated her career to advocating for student parents around the country – a group that makes up almost a quarter of all undergrads. She talks to Ben about the challenges she faced when she was a student, and why it’s crucial we start thinking of student parents as assets, not liabilities. 
Higher Ed Spotlight is a new podcast, sponsored by Chegg’s Center for Digital Learning, that aims to explore the future of higher education today.
