Session Description:
Transfer students come to higher education with military, work, family, and educational experiences that often contribute to their confident, independent use of library resources. We are moving away from a deficit model – no gaps, shocks, or failures here! In this moderated conversation, four librarians from varied institutions will share findings from surveying and interviewing transfer students and the librarians who work with them. The discussion will include dismantling common assumptions about transfer students by acknowledging their diverse lived experiences. This panel will inspire you to create new initiatives and collaborations in order to contribute to transfer student success.
