Transfer students represent one of the biggest enrollment opportunities in higher education, yet many institutions still treat them as an afterthought. In this episode, Allison sits down with Jaime Smith, author of The Complete Guide to College Transfer, to discuss what transfer students actually need from colleges and universities. Jaime explains why institutions should move beyond being merely "transfer-friendly" and instead strive to become transfer-affirming, creating experiences that support students from application through graduation.
