New Parent Task Force

The New Parent Task Force was established in Fall 2022 to assess current programs and resources provided to students and employees who are returning to school or employment after bonding with or caring for a newborn. During the 2022-2023 academic year the task force will focus on implementing the Medela breast pumps in the lactation pods, coordinate a one-stop website for new parents or care givers, assess policy to ensure they are new parent friendly and identify gaps in supportive programming.
