According to NWSCC Student Support Services Director, Beth Brewer, SSS would traditionally host a transfer panel to provide students with valuable insights on what college life will be like at a university setting. However, the program is having to handle events slightly different due to the pandemic. 

Virtual University Transfer Day provides current NWSCC students with an opportunity to view customized videos from 10 universities. Universities participating include: 

  • Athens State University 
  • Faulkner University 
  • Troy University 
  • University of Alabama 
  • University of Alabama at Birmingham 
  • University of Alabama in Huntsville 
  • University of Mississippi (Ole Miss) 
  • University of North Alabama 
  • University of South Alabama 
  • University of West Alabama 

“This is a great opportunity to show our students what life is like on different university campuses,” said Brewer. “Many of our students are having to prepare for a big transition to universities at a very difficult time. We want our students to be successful, and we feel like offering them resources such as Virtual University Transfer Day will help.”
