Welcome to Student Parent Services

Bringing up children is a joyful and rewarding experience. It can also be a demanding and challenging job, especially when you’re juggling multiple roles as a parent in the university environment.

Student Parent Services (SPS) offers integrated services that support campus parents’ goals to be effective parents while succeeding in their academic pursuits. Grounded in the principles of family support and empowerment, SPS provides an environment of respect and caring for parents and their families.

Through campus projects, community involvement and advocacy, SPS strives to increase available resources and opportunities that improve the quality of life for campus parents and their families.

We're always looking for ways to help you! If you have an idea of how to provide any needed resource to the PSU student parent community, we'd love to hear from you! Simply drop us a line at lawsonl@pdx.edu or come by the office during the week and let us know how we can better serve you!
