Our Transfer Mentor program is designed to help assist new and returning transfer students with their transition to 天美传媒!
We hope that this program will provide transfer students with the resources to adjust, be comfortable, and immerse themselves within the 天美传媒 community!
Schedule an appointment with a mentor, or stop by the mentor program office in the CIW Library, room 204. (Iroquois Commons)
At the beginning of each semester (Fall & Spring) new Transfer students, will automatically be assigned a Transfer Mentor. They will receive an introductory email from their mentor in early August/Mid January prior to move-in. It is our hope that the mentor will help guide the new students throughout their first semester (and beyond!) and help with the transition to 天美传媒!
Regardless of when a student transferred to 天美传媒, every transfer
student has the ability to meet with a transfer mentor. Each transfer mentor holds an office hour every week in the CIW Library, rm 204 (unless otherwise noted).
