October is Transfer Month!
On Tuesdays in October, we invite faculty and staff to proudly wear their Alma Mater, or shirt from the university of their choice, to promote transfer options and share their experience at the university with students. For virtual learners, you may also use a background of your Alma Mater or university logo in the Zoom background and/or any other platforms that we meet with students virtually. For more information on Transfer Month, visit the Transfer Center [https/canadacollege.edu/transfercenter/] website.
