Achieving meaningful and sustainable success in transfer student pathways requires more than administrative adjustments—it demands strong leadership, visionary partnerships, and systemic redesign at the highest institutional levels. Join us for an engaging webinar that explores Strategy 1 from the Transfer Playbook: Prioritizing Transfer at the Executive Level. Learn from two pioneering partnerships—George Mason University and Northern Virginia Community College (NOVA ADVANCE), and Arizona Western College with Northern Arizona University (NAU)—as they share how presidential leadership, team-based strategies, and intentional resource investment transformed their transfer experiences.

Key takeaways include:

    • How executive-led vision and strategic investments catalyzed enduring changes in transfer culture and infrastructure.

    • Insights into the collaborative governance structures and innovative IT solutions implemented by NOVA ADVANCE for sustainable success.

    • Lessons from Arizona Western and NAU’s bold goal-setting and co-located campuses to elevate bachelor’s degree attainment.

    • Practical steps and actionable ideas for elevating transfer priorities at your institution.

Join us to learn directly from institutional leaders who have successfully prioritized transfer, strengthened partnerships, and redesigned student pathways to improve outcomes and scalability.

This webinar is part of a series that will spotlight the Playbook’s three core strategies, providing practical, actionable insights institutions can implement to significantly improve transfer student outcomes, particularly for historically underserved students. The following webinars include:

  • Clear Pathways, Tailored Plans: Accelerating Transfer Student Success through Aligned Instruction and Advising, Monday, June 16, 1:00 – 2:00 pm ET, Register

  • Transforming Transfer Advising: Building Trust, Engagement, and Holistic Support, Wednesday, June 18, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm ET, Register
