Are you a faculty, staff member, or administrator at a community college, CSU, or UC who wants to improve student transfer?  Join the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges, in collaboration with the RP Group, for the virtual 2021 Academic Academy being held online October 7-8, 2021. The theme is Enhancing Transfer in the Higher Education System. The program includes general and breakout sessions intended to raise awareness of broad perspectives and transfer experiences, provide updates on transfer efforts within the California Community Colleges and university partners, and explore ways to improve student transfer, with an emphasis on strategies for closing opportunity and transfer gaps for students least likely to transfer.
