Welcome to the Cyclone Parenting Student Network (CPSN), a supportive community tailored to the needs of parenting students. Balancing the demands of college life while raising a family can be both rewarding and challenging, but within CPSN you'll find a welcoming space where empathy, understanding, and collaboration are the focus.

CPSN facilitates connections between parenting students and their children through social events and parenting workshops. There is no membership application or form to fill out - simply join one of our events! We believe these opportunities to meet and connect with other families for advice, support, and friendship can help parenting students build a community that will empower them to thrive academically and personally.
