Students United is thrilled to share that Parent Priority Registration (HF 4730, SF 4738) passed the 94th Minnesota State Legislature.

After this session, Minnesota's protections for parenting students are among the strongest in the country.

Imagine arriving in a new country, navigating a new system, where the rhythms of life are replaced by the cadence of a new culture and a set of unspoken rules; carrying not only your dreams, but your accent, your history, your hopes, and your ambitions that demand clarity.

For international and first-generation students, this is not imagination; it is reality, especially for those trodding the margins of multiple identities.
