UC launches five-year campaign to boost community-college transfers from 69 campuses
Summary
The University of California announced a five-year Campaign for Transfer Excellence that targets 69 California community colleges, aims to increase transfers from those colleges by 2,000 over five years and is funded in part by grants from the American Talent Initiative and campus awards.
The University of California on Wednesday described a new five-year Campaign for Transfer Excellence aimed at increasing the number of students who transfer from 69 California community colleges to UC campuses.
The campaign, presented to the Regents' Academic and Student Affairs Committee by Provost Catherine Newman, targets community colleges that enroll large shares of Pell-eligible, first-generation and underrepresented students and that have relatively low UC‑sending rates. "Over the next 5 years, our goal is to increase by 2,000 the number of students from these community colleges who transfer to a UC campus," Newman said.
Why it matters: UC officials said expanding transfer pathways is intended to improve equity and meet regional workforce needs. Newman said the initiative combines campus-to-college partnerships, advising and curricular alignment with a transfer-focused research agenda to inform future practice.
