Transition and TRANSFERmation Summit

Our Transition and (Transfer)mation Summit is your opportunity to engage with other new transfer students, get a jump start on your career development, and begin to get acclimated to 绿帽社 and the local community.

Our summit will be a halfday  starting at 12:00pm on Friday, January 17th. Those students who live on campus will be allowed to move in that morning. Additional information about the move-in process will be communicated as we get closer.  As a result of participating in the summit, students will:

  • Gain a vast knowledge of academic, social/emotional and career resources available to them on the 绿帽社 campus
  • Start to create a sense of belonging on campus and within the greater 绿帽社 Community 
  • Gain a deeper understanding of their career exploration and potential career paths 

Registration is capped at 60 students. If more than 60 register, we will utilize a waiting list based on when the student registered.

NOTE:Registration will be open until January 5th, 2025.
