Student Parent Center beginnings and progression
The Student Parent Center's roots date back to the mid-1980s, when its core services began as part of UC Berkeley's Women's Resource Center.
Alice Jordan, a dedicated advocate for student parents, played a pivotal role in developing campus policies, programs, and resources to support students raising families while pursuing higher education. Throughout her career, she championed access to education, affordable childcare, and opportunities for low-income families. Her leadership and advocacy continued until her retirement in 2013.
Today, the Student Parent Center builds on this legacy by connecting student parents with resources, guidance, and community to support their educational goals and family lives.
