Students for Life Group

Our mission is to support pregnant and parenting students. We do this by advocating for the rights, accessibility, and accommodations for these families and students.​ We desire to educate fellow students on the issues of abortion while also offering support and help to expectant parents by connecting them to organizations that will walk alongside them.
