Transfer Motivational Conference,

About the event

Our Transfer Motivational Conference is designed to introduce community college students to university life experiences and to motivate them to transfer to a four-year university. Traditionally our students participate in a summer conference at Texas’ flagship campus, the University of Texas in Austin. This offers them the unique opportunity to have an on-campus experience complete with a stay in a dormitory and food in the cafeteria. The conferences enables students to gain insight from university representatives and guest speakers on topics such as the admissions processes, financial aid, university transfer resources, financial literacy, and career planning as they network with other CTN students from across the state. Students will be inspired by motivational speakers and our program alumni who have overcome obstacles and succeeded. Alumni will answer student questions and have meaningful discussions.
