Our Transition and (Transfer)mation Summit is your opportunity to engage with other new transfer students, get a jump start on your career development, and begin to get acclimated to °®¶¹´«Ã½ and the local community.
Our summit will be a halfday starting at 12:00pm on Friday, January 17th. Those students who live on campus will be allowed to move in that morning. Additional information about the move-in process will be communicated as we get closer. As a result of participating in the summit, students will:
- Gain a vast knowledge of academic, social/emotional and career resources available to them on the °®¶¹´«Ã½ campus
- Start to create a sense of belonging on campus and within the greater °®¶¹´«Ã½ Community
- Gain a deeper understanding of their career exploration and potential career paths
Registration is capped at 60 students. If more than 60 register, we will utilize a waiting list based on when the student registered.
NOTE:Registration will be open until January 5th, 2025.
