Dear Parenting Students,
On behalf of the Office of Child Care and Family Resources (OCCFR) at the University of Wisconsin Madison, I extend a warm and heartfelt welcome to all new and returning students for the upcoming academic year!
As the Director of OCCFR, I recognize the unique challenges and responsibilities that come with being a student-parent. Balancing academics, family life, and personal growth is no small feat, and I want you to know that we are here to support you every step of the way.
Our office is committed to providing resources, programs, and services tailored to meet the needs of parenting students like you. From child care financial assistance to family events and programs, we strive to create an environment where you can thrive academically while nurturing your family.
I encourage you to explore the various resources available through OCCFR, attend our workshops, and connect with fellow student-parents. Together, we can build a community that celebrates diversity, fosters inclusivity, and empowers you to achieve your educational and personal goals.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out to our office with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. Your voice matters, and we are eager to hear your thoughts as we continue to enhance our services.
Wishing you a successful and fulfilling academic year ahead. Welcome to the Badger family!
