Recapping a successful week of learning
A heartfelt thank you to all of our speakers and attendees! With over 1130 registrants and 682 live attendees, the latest Transfer Week Webinar Series drew significant interest from higher education professionals across the country. Live viewership exceeded 2300, demonstrating the high demand for information and best practices related to transfer student success. The series delved into critical topics such as streamlining transfer processes, leveraging technology, supporting student success, implementing system-level strategies, and utilizing data-driven decision-making.
It seemed personal; like the presenters were speaking to me directly about my concerns without me even having to tell them.
This held a great combination of topics and audience. These are great supplements to the monthly sessions held by your organization. These conversations are great for those new through years of experience.
I received links to articles/documentation as a result of the questions I asked in a [post-webinar discussion] breakout room. It’s so helpful to get a personalized email following up with the detailed information I can dive into at a later time.
In reference to the webinar, Getting Started with Confidence: Strategies for Improving the Transfer Student Experience at an Urban Community College, presented by Rebecca Siggelkoe Moreno of Bunker Hill Community College, one attendee shared:
I REALLY appreciate a full session of community college focus on transfer! So often, it is university-based since, of course, they do traditionally receive “more” transfer students. The number of transfers (lateral, pseo, reverse from univ, etc.) is huge for community colleges, too, with very limited resources for transfer services. This has been very informative and helpful! Thank you.
