Want to be a Transfer Buddy?

A great opportunity to help out new transfer students!

Transfer Buddy Expectations

  • Reach out to your buddies at least six times during the semester.  Send two emails a month to update your buddies on dates and deadlines, tips, upcoming events, advisement and class registration.
  • Promote Transfer Connect events and make sure that your buddies are aware if you will be attending.  Some events include the Transfer Takeoff and the Welcome BBQ.
