National Transfer Student Week

What is National Transfer Student Week? (NTSW)
Every third week of October, the National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students has hosted a celebration of transfer students and the professionals who support them on their journeys. To be a transfer champion, it's important to share awareness of common transfer barriers and the diverse student needs and identities within our transfer populations. Although the transition between institutions can be complex, we are here to help ensure that transfer is a good and valuable pathway to a Kent State University degree program. Join us in celebrating our students! 

Don't be afraid to share your own story about being a transfer student and what being a transfer student means to you. Post your story for us to read on social media using #TransferStudentWeek so we can learn more about you!

Where are you from?

Have you ever walked through Kent and wondered if other students that you saw were also transfer students? You'd be surprised how many! Everyone's story is different, but you never know what you have in common with that other person wearing that Kent State T-shirt. Make sure to watch for special student feature stories in the Kent State Today magazine!
