SECTION I. SCOPE OF WORK AND OTHER INFORMATION

1.1. Project Overview:

1.1.1. In 2024, in partnership with New Mexico Independent Community Colleges Santa

Fe Community College (SFCC) led the development and implementation of the New

Mexico College Student Experience Survey. This survey, conducted at nine New

Mexico community colleges, was distributed to all students and included a focus on

parenting students. The 2026 New Mexico College Student Experience Survey will

expand on the initial 2024 survey by including additional New Mexico public and

tribal higher education institutions and incorporating new student parent research

questions. Santa Fe Community College is seeking proposals for a research partner

to support additional survey development, data analysis, and completion of data

reports.

1.1.2. Context: SFCC supports student parents at the college through the Student Parent

Success Program. The SFCC Early Childhood Center of Excellence (ECCOE) has

also recently launched the New Mexico Student Parent Alliance (NMSPA), which is

dedicated to empowering and uplifting student parents and their families by

promoting postsecondary success through multigenerational support. Through

NMSPA, SFCC ECCOE collaborates with community organizations and higher

education institutions across New Mexico to create lasting positive outcomes for

student parents and future generations. The 2026 New Mexico College Student

Experience Survey will serve as a key data source for collaborative decision making,

a policy agenda, and other activities of the NMSPA.
