Transfer Student Alliance (a CSUN club for transfer students)

We build community for our transfer students with transfers and transfer allies.

Transfer students often find themselves in transfer shock after coming to four-year universities. Most universities have transfer centers with designated staff and resources, but in lieu of established support for transfer students at CSUN, we created Transfer Student Alliance for students, by students.
