Friday, March 9 ~ 1:00-2:30pm EST
Transfer and access to higher education are now more intertwined than ever before. Many institutions are looking to transfer students to fill in the enrollment gaps left by fewer high school graduates. Accepting transfer students into the culture of the campus isn’t as easy as simply admitting them. Changing campus climate and culture to accept and value transfers can be a challenge for many faculty and administrators. Building a campus climate that enhances student success and welcomes this ever growing population takes an intentional effort with university-wide support. Participants will be instructed on how to assess the campus environment as it relates to transfer students and their experiences. Based on their campus audit, faculty and staff will hear some creative ways of building a transfer friendly and transfer-going culture on their campuses.
