With support from the Teagle Foundation, campuses in Minnesota are becoming increasingly transfer-friendly. Check out and share these tips on addressing transfer barriers from Judy Niemi Johnson, an Assistant Director of Admissions and Transfer, in Inside Higher Ed: https://buff.ly/46A6CeC. We're proud to partner with the Minnesota Private College Council! "Put yourself in the shoes of a transfer student. Is the admission process simple and scholarships on par with first-year scholarships? How do discount rates compare? Do deadlines accommodate late applicants? Are general education requirements reduced when transfer credits increase? How quickly are students advised and allowed to register? What are the residency requirements? Can a transfer student access research and internship opportunities in their first year on campus?"

Star City News recently spoke with director Melinda Zook about the program's impact: "It started in 2017, before which many Purdue graduates went their entire academic career having never set foot in a literature or history class, Dr. Melinda Zook recalls. Now, they all do. 'I think we have changed the culture of Purdue in some ways,' she said ... Dr. Zook is the director of Cornerstone Integrated Liberal Arts, an introductory course program teaching students across campus critical skills, through the study of the transformative texts, once known as 'Great Books,' or the classics. The learning isn’t confined to the classroom. Neither is the impact. The program is designed to capture each student, and as Dr. Zook says it, ‘turn the light on.’" Read more:
