EOU Student Parent Research Project : The Juggling Act
On-going research project involving interviews with EOU students who also have parental responsibility for minor children. If you are a student parent, or would like to assist us in this project by interviewing student parents, contact Dr. Powers at rpowers@eou.edu or student researcher Amber Richardson at richar3@eou.edu. EOU is currently studying possible carecare options for student parents, and this research can provide important evidence of existing needs.

The good we secure for ourselves is precarious and uncertain, is floating in mid-air, until it is secured for all of us and incorporated into our common life.
Jane Addams, 1892
