For many students, the journey through higher education often includes navigating the complexities of transferring from one college or university to another. This transition can be fraught with uncertainty and confusion, but there are dedicated professionals who work tirelessly to make that journey simpler, more seamless, and offer support.
National Transfer Student Week, created by NISTS and NYSTAA, is an annual event created to celebrate transfer students and the professionals who support them on their journeys. This year, Transfer Student Week will take place October 16 – 20 with the theme “Full Steam Ahead!”
