“A Conversation with our Community College Colleagues”

As part of National Transfer Student Week, join us for a virtual advisor forum featuring representatives from two-year institutions in Missouri. Through a facilitated discussion, panelists will share their perspectives on academic advising, the student experience, common transfer questions and students’ transition from a two-year to a four-year institution. We’ll also explore how receiving institutions can better support advisors and their students throughout the transfer process. This conversation is an opportunity to share ideas, strengthen our partnerships and work together to create a more seamless transfer experience for students. Registration is encouraged.
