Celebrating World Breastfeeding Week 💙 August 1–7

At PSU, the Resource Center for Students with Children is here to support student parents with access to lactation spaces, Title IX protections, and campus resources.

Under Title IX, colleges are required to provide reasonable accommodations for lactating students. You don’t have to navigate feeding or pumping on campus alone—we’re here to help!

Whether you need assistance finding the nearest lactation room, communicating with instructors about pumping breaks, or learning about your Title IX rights, our team is ready to support you.

✨ PSU has 16+ lactation rooms across campus. Amenities vary by location and may include:
• Multi-user Medela breast pumps
• Refrigerators
• Comfortable seating
• And more!

🍼 Medela Pumping Kits are available for pickup at the Resource Center for Students with Children.

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! 💙

Thank you all for a wonderful year! ✨ This academic year, the Resource Center for Students with Children team participated in many opportunities that helped broaden our reach across campus and highlighted the essential need for resources supporting student parents and caregivers.

We hosted several programs and events, introduced feeding bottles and infant formula into our drop-in services, and built community among you all. We are excited to use the summer term to recharge, but please know that we will remain available and ready to assist those who need us :)
