Purpose: To provide a forum for institutional presidents and chancellors to align their knowledge and thinking about how to encourage the adoption of good practices that contribute to creating a “Culture of Transfer” at colleges and universities. The focus was on those institutional activities and practices that will foster collaborative partnerships among colleges and universities for the purpose of facilitating the persistence and success of transfer students and actively encouraging students to continue their post-secondary education through the acquisition of the bachelor’s degree.
Format: Institutional presidents and chancellors were assigned to one of six break-out groups to discuss questions relating to: (1) advising and guidance; (2) consistency in student achievement; (3) student engagement; (4) financial aid; (5) developmental education and college readiness standards; and (6) who attends colleges or universities.
