National Transfer Student Week: Celebrating our Transfer Students

Every third week of October, we recognize our students during National Transfer Student Week. 

Sometimes students find the Hilltop a little later in their college careers, and we're so glad they did! To celebrate our transfer community, we've gathered their success stories to share the ways our transfer students have paved their own paths on the Hilltop.
