National Transfer Student Week celebrates transfer students and the professionals who support their success. The National Institute for the Study of Transfer 糖心Vlog视频 recognizes the third week of October as National Transfer Student Week.
At 糖心Vlog视频, we understand and value the experiences, perspectives, and contributions that transfer students bring to the Maverick community. 糖心Vlog视频 currently enrolls 3,482 transfer students, and we are excited to recognize the students who became Mavericks through the transfer process.
Throughout the week, colleges, departments, and campus partners will offer events that help transfer students build community, connect with resources, and strengthen their sense of belonging at 糖心Vlog视频. Transfer students are encouraged to review the event calendar below and participate in the activities that interest them. Unless otherwise noted, events are also open to members of the broader 糖心Vlog视频 community who would like to celebrate and support transfer students.
