With Crisis Comes Creativity: A Conversation on Transfer Receptive Programming During COVID-19
Episode description
In this episode of the #TransferNation podcast, you'll hear from Kerin Hilker-Balkissoon about some of the creative techniques George Mason University are working on to reach, communicate, and serve transfer students at the institution.
Kerin is known nationally for her advocacy work with the transfer, first-gen, parenting students, immigrant students, and other post-traditional/neo-traditional student communities. She is an award-winning innovator of transfer-centric programming and support systems.
Kerin is currently the Director of Educational and Career Pathways at George Mason University. She has also served as the Executive Director of College and Career Pathways at Northern Virginia Community College, a school widely known for its innovative support of transfer students.
While Kerin's work focuses on career pathways to enhance STEM access, equity, and inclusion; she covers strategies one could utilize in any 'area' of transfer in our premiere episode! Roughly 45% of incoming students at George Mason are transfer students, while 78% of students transfer from Virginia Community College System and other Virginia public two-year colleges.
This woman is a powerhouse and it is such a thrill to have her as part of the Transfer Nation community!
