Gadsden State to host annual Transfer Fairs
Gadsden, Ala. - ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ’s Advising and Retention Center is hosting Transfer Fairs during the month of October. The events will be from 9 to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 22 in Allen Hall on the ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵ and Oct. 23 at the Cheaha Center on the Ayers Campus.
“October is a momentous month for students interested in transferring to a four- year college or university after completing a degree at Gadsden State,” said Dr. Jeremy Williams, director of the ARC. “The fairs offer students a valuable opportunity to connect with transfer colleges. Our department helps students bridge the gap between general academic courses completed at Gadsden State and opportunities for them to further their education in their preferred program of study. The event is not only for those in traditional academic programs but also for students who may want to pursue an additional degree after completing a program in a technical or health science area.”
“Preparing an educational career path an entire academic year in advance is not too early to plan. It guarantees students stay on track at Gadsden State before transferring credit hours. It also opens an opportunity to become eligible for transfer scholarships.”
Interested students are invited to meet with representatives from over 20 colleges and universities and receive information on admissions, scholarships, financial aid and housing.
Many colleges and universities provide an opportunity for students to apply for free during this time.
