Shapiro Administration Unveils PA MASLOW Initiative to Support Postsecondary Students

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) joined students, faculty, and advocates at Cedar Crest College to announce the launch of a new program to support Pennsylvania postsecondary students - PA MASLOW: A Hierarchy of Collegiate Basic Needs.

"Through the PA MASLOW framework, institutions can learn from one another as they identify ways to meet the basic pillars of Collegiate Need. And, at the state level, PDE is committed to eliminating silos among our sister agencies, working collaboratively to break down systemic barriers and cycles of poverty, and provide pathways for today's modern students," said Secretary of Education Dr. Khalid N. Mumin. "Together we can provide the tools, resources, and support students need to ensure that they can reach infinite possibilities of success."

PA MASLOW is a cross-agency partnership that expands upon the mission of PDE - ensuring every student not only has access to education, but that the education pursued provides them with support and resources to create optimal learning environments. This initiative will engage postsecondary institutions in several pillars of work, including: digital equity, housing and transportation, mental health, personal needs, adult student needs, and safety and belonging.

List of Speakers:
Dr. Elizabeth Meade, Cedar Crest College President
Calley Stevens Taylor, Vice President for Student Services and Success and Dean of Students
Noor Hussain, Student
Dr. Kate Shaw, Deputy Secretary and Commissioner for Postsecondary and Higher Education
Secretary of Education Dr. Khalid N. Mumin
