Student Voices Symposium: Foster Care to College – Dec 4
Posted by University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education on October 29, 2024
For students in or aging out of foster care, transitioning to higher education can be especially challenging without resources and support. As the majority of youth in foster care aspire to attend college, effective policies and practice should be implemented to promote enhanced college attendance, retention, and graduation. In this session, you will hear from a panel of college students and/or graduates, each with experience in foster care, to share their insights about how the transition from high school to college and beyond can be supported for this population.
A reception with youth speakers will follow the panel discussion.
Panel moderator: Logan Fosu, Field Center Nancy Glickenhaus Student Fellow
Date and Time: Wednesday, December 4, 2024, 4:00-5:30 PM
Location: 355 Stiteler Hall, 208 S. 37th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19104
