ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
If you are a higher education professional interested in improving transfer, join us for NISTS 2023, where every session focuses on the transfer student experience. You’ll learn practical and research-based strategies, build connections with others in similar roles, and replenish your reserves for doing this important work. Because transfer student success is a shared responsibility, we encourage individuals working in all functional areas at community colleges, universities, and other organizations to attend.
This Year's Theme:
"Be a Connector for Transfer Student Success"
You’ve probably benefited from a connector - a person who went out of their way to introduce you to someone or something new and shifted your perspective to help you reach your goals. If so, then you know how powerful and potentially life-changing such developmental relationships can be. In the context of transfer, connectors go beyond quick referrals and instead take the time to validate students' strengths and needs, map action steps to outcomes, and suggest meaningful and timely resources.
NISTS 2023 will explore this important role and the many ways we can leverage our knowledge and networks to support transfer students’ journeys. Your voice is crucial to the conversation, so we hope to see you there!
TWO ATTENDANCE OPTIONS
This year's annual conference features two distinct yet complimentary experiences that require separate registration. Both the virtual and Portland events feature numerous live presentations and networking opportunities, making it easy to choose the format that best fits your needs and context. Further, all conference registrants will gain on-demand access to the full collection of presentation recordings and materials from both events via our easy-to-use conference app beginning in early March. Access will remain open through April 30, 2023, giving you plenty of time to extend your learning if you need to miss a session or can only register for one event.
