​

Transfer students and I will be conducting interviews of community members who are either current transfer students at Agnes Scott or are staff/faculty that transferred during their lifetime. These interviews will be made into spotlights that will then be featured on our weekly newsletter, The Irvine, on ASC social media platforms with the hashtag #TransferStudentWeek, and on our academic advising bulletin board. We are also creating a banner to provide awareness around NTSW. The banner will be posted in our student center.

​

These programmatic activities are organized by Tanzania Nevels (Academic Advisor), Nia Dokes (Student), Lane Porter (Student), Celeste Lan (Student), Cymone Ryals (Student), and me. We're all transfers.

Kate Springsteen, Member Services Coordinator

​

The Interstate Passport® program is excited to celebrate National Transfer Student Week. The Interstate Passport Network is a nationwide network of colleges and universities whose goal is to streamline student transfer among its member institutions. Information about National Transfer Student Week will be shared with our network members, promoted on our website, on social media, and we will encourage our network members to feature student transfer stories.

​

The Interstate Passport® program, which is administered by the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education, facilitates the block transfer of lower-division general education based on learning outcomes across a nationwide network of colleges and universities. Students who earn a "Passport" at a member institution are able to seamlessly transfer their general education learning to other member institutions, saving them time and money. Since its official launch in 2016, 32 colleges and universities across 14 states have joined the network, and over 38,800 students have earned a Passport and the ability to transfer with ease.

In terms of marketing, we will be using our new @sastransfers Instagram account as an online resource.

Every Students in Transition course will have a presentation on the weekly events and receive NTSW merchandise that has been designed by our transfer team. Some giveaways include pens with a pull-out banner that lists our schedule of events, Rutgers tech stickers, and tailgate tattoos. All of our events will be staffed by Transfer Deans as well as Transfer Mentors, which are previous transfer students that now work as aids in the adjustment of new transfers.
