Four years ago, the College of St. Catherine, a small private college in St. Paul, merged with St. Mary's, a 2-year college. The College of St. Catherine plans to use the 2-year college campus to start a program for single parents. A survey (with a 44 percent response) of the 126 single parents currently enrolled showed that they have enough support from family and friends to make it through school, but that they need odd-hours child care and emotional and social support. Based on the results of the survey, the college has proposed providing housing specially designed for 25 single-parent students and their children within walking distance of the St. Mary's campus. Ideally, there would be a day care center or several family day care homes also within walking distance. The program would be staffed by an administrator and an aide, who would oversee the program, pursue funding sources, and serve as a liaison to community resources in order to reduce stress and increase the potential for success for students. At present, possible sites are being explored and funding sources for the program are being pursued. (KC)
