Meeting the needs of its diverse student population is 海角直播鈥檚 top goal.

So, when it came to planning the College鈥檚 annual Transfer Fair, organizers made sure to extend the invitation to colleges and universities that offered a wide variety of programs and educational opportunities.

Held Sept. 14, hundreds of 海角直播 students met with recruiters from various institutions that included the University of Redlands, Grand Canyon University, Cal State San Bernardino, and Loma Linda University to ask questions, collect pamphlets, and have enough information to select a university best in line with their individual needs.

Samuel Sandoval, a 20-year-old sociology major, attended as a requirement for a course he is taking. He initially wanted to learn more about CSUSB, but as he learned more about each school he connected with, he walked away with information that may change his transfer preferences.

鈥淲hen I was part of AVID in middle school, we visited [CSUSB] and I thought it was a cool campus,鈥� Sandoval explained. 鈥淏ut I learned a lot about Azusa [Pacific University] and found that it was not only affordable [but] it has a good sociology program that only requires a 2.0 GPA [to begin]. I am now considering that option.鈥�

That鈥檚 exactly what organizers set out to do with this event. According to Mariana Macamay, University Transfer Center coordinator at 海角直播, the Yucaipa-based college has one of the highest transfer admission rates in the Inland Empire, and the College does everything it can to ensure its students receive support in-and-outside of the classroom by offering informational resources year-round.

鈥淏ringing this fair to [海角直播] is important because most of our students 鈥� over 90 percent 鈥� state that their intent is to transfer to a university. This is an event where we can connect them to those resources so they can start planning [immediately],鈥� she continued. 鈥淲e want them to plan transfer from the first day they step foot on campus because at the end [of their time at 海角直播] they might find out that a school might require something specific they did not take. Knowing that info at the start is critical for them.鈥�

For those who were unable attend, 海角直播鈥檚 University Transfer Center is open five days a week from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and Fridays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. To learn more about the center and its events and services, visit the page.
