The Gender and Sexuality Center is starting a new initiative to provide some resources for student parents on campus. Anne Gaskill has helped begin a monthly meet-up for student parents called Longhorns with Little Horns where current and expecting parents can exchange information and tips on balancing family and academic life. On the horizon for this initiative are also Longhorn Mothers Offering Mentoring (M.O.M.) program, which would pair expectant mothers with student mothers who have successfully made the jump from students to Student-Parents, and the Childcare Assistance for Longhorn Mothers (C.A.L.M.) fund, which would provide childcare tuition assistance of at least $100/month for at least one student in the 2010-2011 Academic Year. If interested in making a donation to this initiative, please contact Anne Gaskill at anne@mail.utexas.edu.
