They discuss what NODA is all about (hint: it's more than just orientation) and their approach to building a supportive network for transfer and transition services professionals. Drawing from their experiences at their respective institutions, they share observations about transfer student needs, common challenges they're hearing from colleagues, and the importance of campus partnerships in supporting transfer success.

Is it transfer student parents or parenting transfer students? Maybe transfer students with dependents? The multifaceted identities of student parents who transfer challenge standard mechanisms of classification, data collection, and institutional structure. Maya Valree [https://www.linkedin.com/in/maya-v-44a9b1ab/], Senior Policy Analyst at EdTrust-West, joins Dr. Heather Adams [https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherhighered/] to discuss trends in policy and practice designed to center and support parenting students through their postsecondary journey, including implications for transfer practitioners.  Check out the important work happening at EdTrust-West [https://west.edtrust.org/] and The California Alliance for Parent Student Success [https://castudentparentalliance.org/].  Show Credits Host | Dr. Heather Adams Producers | Rhian Waterberg, Emily Kittrell Sound Editing | Abraham Urias Keep talking with Transfer Nation IG: @WeAreTransferNation [https://www.instagram.com/wearetransfernation/?hl=en] LinkedIn: Transfer Nation Page [https://www.linkedin.com/company/transfer-nation] TikTok: @TransferNation [https://www.tiktok.com/@transfernation] FB Group: Transfer Nation [https://m.facebook.com/groups/TransferNation/] Email: WeAreTransferNation@gmail.com [WeAreTransferNation@gmail.com] Talk soon! #TransferPride #TransferSuccess #TransferChampion #TNTalks #TransferNation

The experience of transfer athletes is an easily siloed topic in the transfer field. We do not often discuss what is happening in athletics and the parallels or contrasts with community college transfer. Artis Gordon [https://www.linkedin.com/in/artisgordon/] and Heather Adams [https://www.linkedin.com/in/heatherhighered/] investigate what transfer can learn from athletics and vice versa in this miniseries. The series will explore the community college transfer experience within athletics and aim to: * understand the resources, support, and community that D1, D2, and D3 athletes have access to as transfer students; * discuss the characteristics that make the transfer athlete experience unique; * explore community, academics, and professional development through the lens of transfer athletes;  * and lastly, identify what transfer professionals can learn from athletics and how the two fields can better collaborate to support this student community in the transfer journey.  #TransferSuccess #TransferAthletes #Athletics #CommunityCollegeAthletics Show Credits Host | Dr. Heather Adams Producers | Rhian Waterberg, Emily Kittrell Sound Editing | Abraham Urias Keep talking with Transfer Nation IG: @WeAreTransferNation [https://www.instagram.com/wearetransfernation/?hl=en] LinkedIn: Transfer Nation Page [https://www.linkedin.com/company/transfer-nation] TikTok: @TransferNation [https://www.tiktok.com/@transfernation] FB Group: Transfer Nation [https://m.facebook.com/groups/TransferNation/] Email: WeAreTransferNation@gmail.com [WeAreTransferNation@gmail.com] Talk soon! #TransferPride #TransferSuccess #TransferChampion #TNTalks #TransferNation
