ABOUT US
The Student Parent Association for Recruitment and Retention is an organization of UC Berkeley student parents, supported by staff and faculty, who are dedicated to providing access to higher education for underserved, nontraditional and underrepresented students. The purpose of the SPARR is
1) to provide a forum for student parents to discuss issues they are currently experiencing,
2) to build a supportive, inclusive student parent community and
3) to create an organizational vehicle for collective action.
SPARR members are dedicated to providing outreach services aimed at increasing the numbers of student parents from community colleges and high schools that apply to and attend UC Berkeley. By providing a positive and supportive outlook and campus environment for both prospective and current UC Berkeley students, we contribute to the academic success of student families at Cal.
SPARR along with other Student Organizations work hard to provide any assistance needed for student families. One of our closest allies in the academic fight is the Transfer, Re-Entry, and Student Parent Center. Visit TRSP at 100 Cesar Chavez Center on Campus where you can network with other student families and the TRSP staff!
