Concurrent sessions will be offered, covering topics such as advising CCP students; best practices for preparing students to go to out-of-state institutions and receiving transfers from another state; and how to leverage technology to support articulation and transfer initiatives.
Finally, our keynote speaker will be Dr. Amelia Salazar, Vice President of Student Success at Wright State University. She’ll share with us the practices and paradigms that undergird supporting transfer students, as well as the role that transfer plays in student success.

But how can secondary and post-secondary partners ensure that those credits are more than just “random acts of dual enrollment”? What are some of the best practices for advising CCP students for future careers and transfer, especially knowing that CCP coursework can impact future financial aid? Learn how Lorain County Community College’s recently revised advising policy will help CCP students declare subplans, better preparing them for pathways in in-demand careers or transfer to specific institutions. Presenter: Nadia Leary, Ohio Alliance of Dual Enrollment Partnerships/Lorain County Community College Facilitator: Maureen Cooper, Franklin University • Session 2 – Just Across the River: Out-of-State Partner Spotlight While we all have great partners in-state fulfilling the Ohio Transfer Promise, this session will explore how transfer promises are fulfilled beyond our borders.

However, a few things are certain: enrollment is changing, institutions are challenged to adjust, and thus it is more important than ever that we deliver on our promise of student success. Transfer students are critical to that promise, and both sending and receiving institutions have integral roles to play. This keynote address will focus on the practices and paradigms that undergird supporting transfer students, as well as unpacking some of the emergent ideas in the field. Come learn alongside colleagues and contribute to our collaborative dialogue around transfer student success and what part we can all play. |
