Dear SENATE: Here we come! #DCStudentSummit

Student takeaways from their first round of meetings on the Hill during the #DCStudentSummit. We agree, the future looks bright!

Even pups have a place on the Hill. Meet Maverick. Causes he cares about: access to #highered, basic needs, + mental health support for #TodaysStudents Favorite pastime: hanging on Capitol Hill w/ his mama, parenting student Jennifer Shirk Likes: TREATS #DCStudentSummit

Thank you to Senator Dick Durbin’s office for meeting with our #DCStudentSummit leaders! We’re so pleased to learn what exciting things the Senate is working on that align with our priorities for #TodaysStudents. TS Coalition

Our Student Advocacy Coordinator Yoslin supported TS Coalition’s #DCStudentSummit Hill Day today! Alongside student advocates, she met w/ the House Committee on Education & the Workforce Majority, as well as the offices of Rep. Jamie Raskin, Rep. Andy Harris, MD, & Senator Chris Van Hollen.

Celebrating the last three days of lots of work that was worth every second! TS Coalition Richard Davis Jr.

Yesterday, we joined 7 learners at 5 meetings with offices on Capitol Hill - just a fraction of the nearly 50 Hill meetings yesterday TS Coalition organized. Thank you to the staff who took time to hear these students’ stories. First up was Chuck Schumer!

💥💥BIG NEWS: An announcement you DON'T want to miss from HLA's Julie Peller about a "pivotal change" for HLA + TSC: "Over the past seven years, the term 'Today's Students' has changed how society views people in pursuit of higher education." Full message: bit.ly/3UEYLsz

Today @HigherLearnADV and TS Coalition announced a thing- beginning June 1, all HLA work will fall under TS Coalition! I'm so excited to see what's to come. Many changes ahead - including that Tanya Ang will succeed me in serving as Executive Director. Read more below:

Student parents face unique barriers to #HigherEd, including access to affordable child care. That's why TSC + 59 partners sent a letter urging Congress to increase funding for the Child Care Access Means Parents in Schools (CCAMPIS) program. More here: bit.ly/4a913Vf

HLA’s Julie Peller + The Chronicle of Higher Education’s Goldie Blumenstyk talk next steps in transition to Twin-Sun Coalition. “... check back with Peller on where she’s seen progress for today’s students and where there’s still work to do. Spoiler alert: There’s still plenty to do.” bit.ly/4ab0MkL

We value our collaboration with @HigherLearnADV more than we can say. We are grateful to be a part of TS Coalition & look forward to ongoing work together to support today's students in #highered. We've come so far but so much more to do to support new traditional learners!
