UW-Transfers Make the WI Idea Happen.
Transfer students come to UW-Madison from all over Wisconsin, the U.S., and the world! You bring a wealth of experience, skills, and knowledge, with you when you transfer; transfer students not only enrich campus, but transfer students make the WI Idea Happen. NTSW is a dedicated time for us to celebrate transfer students and the folks who support them (transfer champions)!
The image to the left shows illustrates places where many of transfer students are coming. From our Madison neighbors such as Madison College and Edgewood, all over Wisconsin, from West to the East Coasts, and even China, India, Japan, and South Korea! The Transfer Transition Program text is between two double-headed arrows representing the concept of transfer; not only do student bring vital experience to campus, everything they learn here impacts all of their communities.
Transfer Acts of Kindness
Recognize transfer students & the people who support them!
Let someone know how great they're doing. We'll send them an email telling them they've been recognized! You can recognize as many folks as you'd like, remain anonymous if you wish, and are welcome to leave comments for your nominees to read!
