The presentation will share new findings from the African American Transfer Tipping Point research initiative, which leveraged data from a statewide survey of >7,000 transfer-intending African American/Black students to lift up their experiences and perspectives. We will share what students said was the moment they knew they'd be successful in their goal of transfer and offer recommendations for colleges, districts, and systems looking to improve African American/Black student transfer success.
