You're Invited
We hope you mark your calendars for Monday, October 20th at 9 AM and plan to attend the Texas State Summit on Accelerating Transfer Success. The Texas State Summit, part of our Elevate Student Success series, is a networking and regional forum where faculty and staff from Texas State University can gather with our Community College partners from the region to promote, share, and exchange the best strategies, techniques, and tools for transfer student success.
The Texas State Summit on Accelerating Transfer Success intentionally balances the best practices of sending and receiving institutions. This summit will focus on "Crafting Successful Pathways," exploring how Texas State can collaborate with our sending institutions to ensure students are as transfer-ready as possible.
This event will be held in the Texas State University JCK 11th Floor Ballroom and will begin at 9 AM and conclude at 11:30 AM.
