National Transfer Student Week
As transfer champions, it's vitally important that we build awareness of common transfer barriers and the diverse student needs and identities within our transfer populations. National Transfer Student Week offers the perfect opportunity to highlight transition struggles and successes and unite your campus partners in advocating on behalf of your specific transfer population. Join us for this annual event, every third week of October, to challenge assumptions, build empathy, and instill transfer pride on your campus.
Finding Your Way
Our theme this year is Finding Your Way , inspired by the migratory animals of Humboldt County. Like these animals, transfer students arrive in Humboldt after following their own unique paths. Once here, they discover resources, build community, and adapt to a new environment as they prepare for the next stage in their journey.
