Have you ever wondered what our colleagues at community colleges and feeder institutions experience when they work to help their students transition to MSU? Do you have questions about the transfer process from an external perspective, or how you can better connect with prospective transfer students before they apply to MSU? If so, attend this forum to have a candid discussion with a panel of colleagues from St. Louis Community College, MSU-West Plains, Metropolitan Community College, Crowder College and Ozarks Technical Community College. The panelists will speak about how they work to prepare their students to transition, and the resources they find to be most and least helpful when referring students.
