The few opportunities that exist for colleges and universities to come together and discuss transfer student success are incredibly powerful for staff and faculty members. However, students have even fewer opportunities to attend or participate in these impactful discussions. The Transfer-Year Experience (TYE) program within the Undergraduate College at The University of Texas at Austin hosted a convening to help strengthen transfer support among students, staff, and faculty.
In this session, CCRC’s Tatiana Velasco and the Aspen Institute College Excellence Program’s Bernard Huggins shared expertise on transfer and illuminated current opportunities and challenges transfer students face.
