On Monday, Oct. 24, Skyline College welcomed representatives from several four-year universities for its annual Transfer Day, creating an air of excitement for all students who were able to stop by.
Colleges from all over attended the event to provide information for the next crop of prospective Skyline transfer students and help answer those looming questions the transfer process raises. Over 25 universities made an appearance in the cafeteria with the resources for students regarding their school’s admission criteria.
Skyline’s Transfer Center has been putting the event together for several years to help students get one-on-one time with university representatives as well as introducing students to other schools that may offer additional/optional opportunities. Students at the event crowded the cafeteria taking notes at every table. Notepads, pens, and handouts were made available to students by many schools in attendance.
“It’s a great idea,” said Skyline student Edwin Morales about attending the event. “I’m at that point where I’m looking at my options more closely. Being able to get face time and hear about what they can offer keeps me motivated to do doing.”
The Transfer Center will also be organizing a Transfer Fair in the spring which will be geared more towards students considering private colleges.
