Description
"Transition to college is challenging for many students. New Student Orientations, First-Year Seminars,
Living-Learning Communities and other initiatives are designed to support students during this time but
sometimes transfer students are left out of the process. This session will review findings from a recent
mixed-methods study designed to better understand how transfer students perceived their academic
transition into a new institution. Intended audience: those with a novice to intermediate understanding of
the transfer student experience. Takeaways: ideas and resources to create programming on other
campuses."
