Trident Tech Transfer Scholars Gearing up for Summer 4-Year-College Tours

Do you wonder how to transfer to a four-year school? Do you have questions about where to transfer? Do you want to know what transfer courses you should take?  You can get these questions and more answered through Trident Tech Transfer Scholars, a student club devoted to helping transfer students reach their goals.  What should you do to get involved?

Join our Facebook Page

We have or will send you an invitation to join our Trident Tech Transfer Scholars Facebook group. We will be using this page to share information about transferring, scholarships, and our upcoming events.  Join the group, and you’ll always know what is going on.

Come on Tours of Four-Year Colleges with Us

One of the main ways we serve our members is to help them learn about the colleges they are considering for transfer. The best way to learn about a college is to visit, so, we do that. We either meet at a local college or take a van to colleges that are further away. Our summer schedule looks like this: 

• College of Charleston: June 5, at 2:30 am. (meet at Visitors Center at 2:00)
• USC-Columbia: June 23, at 12:00. (van leaving at 9:00 am from Downtown Palmer Campus)
• Coastal Carolina, July 14^th, at 11:00 (van leaving at 8:00 am from Downtown Palmer Campus)

To sign up, contact Demetria Wright at 843.722.5532 or demetria.wright@tridenttech.edu 

Join Us for Meetings

In our meetings, we will plan tours of four-year colleges, feature admissions officers from different colleges, share information about scholarships, and plan other club activities. We also have free food and bling from colleges to give away. In addition, Trident Tech transfer advisers will be there to answer questions, and our Transfer Information Center coordinator, Demetria Wright, will be there to sign you up for Skype advising appointments with four-year colleges. The club also helps support our College Fair every Fall semester, when we have over 20 four-year colleges here to recruit you. We meet during Student Activity Periods in Palmer room 108, and also at other announced times. We have the following meetings scheduled for the summer:

• May 25th at 11:00-12:00 in the Library at the downtown Palmer campus
• June 13 during the Student Activity Period at 10:00-11:00 in downtown Palmer room 108
• July 10 during the Student Activity Period at 10:00-11:00 in downtown Palmer room
• Aug TBA
• Sept 12 during the Student Activity Period at 10:45-11:45. Dr. Susan Norton will be presenting a Transfer 101 information session.  

Become a Leader

Joining a club is good. Becoming a leader of a club is even better. It looks great on a resume and gives you opportunities to attend conferences, do leadership workshops, and network in the professional world. And you get to shape what the club does. Always important.
