National Transfer Student Week (NTSW)
October 17-21, 2022
The National Institute for the Study of Transfer Students (NISTS) describes National Transfer Student Week as a time to "celebrate transfer students and the professionals who support them on their journey." https://www.nists.org/national-transfer-student-week
This year's theme, "Plug into Transfer!" was created and described by NISTS to "help students and colleagues get 'plugged in' to transfer resources and supports." We are celebrating our transfer students (those who transfer to UNM Albuquerque from outside of they UNM system) and our transition students (those who transition to UNM Albuquerque from a different UNM campus) as well as our staff and faculty who support these students by highlighting some events at both UNM Albuquerque and other UNM campuses that will be taking place October 17th - October 21st.
