Transfer Counselor Sarah Hein has organized a Transfer Fair on Feb. 24 from 11:30am-1:30pm in PSC’s atrium on the first floor on the main campus. Over 40 tables of university admissions representatives will be set up to speak to students about opportunities after graduating from PSC.
Institutions attend the transfer fairs at PSC once or twice a year, with representatives answering questions about majors, scholarships the institution offers, as well as extracurriculars and campus life. Engaging in conversations with admissions officers at transfer fairs are an exceptional opportunity to ask questions in-person. “You can just do a lot of research, very quickly, right here on campus by going to the fair,” Hein said.
Any student benefits in attending the fair, particularly those with plans to transfer whether to begin researching as a first-year student, or as a second-year student wanting to learn more about institutions to finalize their decision.
Students who speak with four or more admissions representatives can enter a raffle to win a $50 Amazon gift card.
