3-2-1 Transfer Event adds onsite admissions, draws more students

Wednesday, January 27^th was the second annual 3-2-1 Transfer Event!  This year we added something new with onsite admissions with our four-year partners.  Our turnout was much higher this year, with nearly 400 students in attendance.

The 3-2-1 Transfer Event was created to help students with their final preparation for transfer.  The CAP team (3.2.1) invited our top five transfer institutions: Grand Valley State University, Ferris State University, Davenport University, Western Michigan University, and Central Michigan University to participate in this event.  Each institution brought representatives from financial aid, admissions, and advising as well as some brought faculty.  These representatives were on hand to answer questions, help assure students are on the right track, while helping students prepare for a successful transfer.  We also had representatives from GRCC’s Records Office, Student Life, and Financial Aid; these staff were available to field graduation questions and provide guidance about transitioning on to their transfer school.

Transfer representatives provided feedback after the event and expressed appreciation, finding it helpful in getting students ready to transfer.  The CAP 3.2.1 Team thanks everyone who helped make this event a success!
