Faculty Roles in Strengthening Inter-Institutional Transfer Relationships: An Example from Michigan
DeChano-Cook, Lisa M.; Casey, Diana
Community College Journal of Research and Practice, v45 n12 p923-926 2021
This paper highlights how inter-institutional faculty relationships can strengthen student transfer between two-year and four-year programs. This article stresses the value of such efforts and some of the opportunities, benefits, and challenges of getting started. This type of relationship is important to ensure that courses will transfer directly, limiting time and costs that students will have to expend after transferring, and students are prepared for the rigors of the four-year institution. The authors discuss their relationship for helping transfer students, including how it has strengthened over the years, lessons learned, the benefits to students, and their departments because of this relationship, and tips on how to get started this type of relationship.
