In this panel discussion, we navigate the landscape of parenting challenges within our UH community, considering the experiences of faculty, staff, and students. Our UH parents contend with searching for a balance between work, school, and the responsibilities of parenthood. Our conversation will spotlight systemic issues like limited parental leave and advocate for more accessible educational opportunities for student parents. By sharing the lived experiences of our UH parents and perspectives of experts in the field of parenting in academia, the goal is to inspire positive changes that will transform our UH parents’ experiences from just “getting by” to thriving.
