Transfer Connections
A page within Multicultural Student Services
Transfer Connections is a new program that launched in the fall of 2024. Transfer student numbers are increasing nationwide and we're paying close attention to the unique needs of this population in an effort to increase retention rates and help them succeed at UWL.
This program provides our multicultural transfer students and transfer students interested in multiculturalism with support and a sense of belonging. Students are matched with a "Connector" who is a fellow UWL student who may share similar experiences and challenges related to their respective identities. Their connector checks in periodically with them to see how they're doing, answer questions, provide information about campus and community resources, etc. Students are also invited to social events to help build community among fellow transfer students, their connectors, and OMSS staff.
