Looking to transfer?

Well, with about weeks left, students gathered around university booths in the library sidewalk to discuss their transferring plans with school recruiters at the Mini University Fair on Thursday, Nov. 13, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

About 20 universities and Cal State recruiters lined up their booths, allowing students to stop by and get information on how to transfer to their school.

Some schools that were at the fair were Cal State Los Angeles, UCLA, Cal State Northridge, and Cal State Fullerton.

Administrative clerk for the transfer center, Evelyn Mattison, said, “The event is turning out fantastic so far. We have plenty of students showing up so far, even people that didn’t R.S.V.P.”

The recruiters gave out flyers that informed students on when to apply to transfer to their schools.

Most students also had the chance to sign up for a one-on-one session with a counselor to look over their transcripts and get some transfer guidance at a later time.

Liberal studies major, Karen Rodriguez, said, “I’m not sure where I want to transfer but the fact that I got to talk to someone that works at the schools definitely helped me make some choices.”

Anthuan Vuong, student recruiter for University of the West, said, “I’m glad to be able to introduce my university to the Cerritos College students.”

Vuong mentioned that he wished he had arrived to the school earlier to get a booth that wasn’t at the end so he would have talked to more students.

Along with the university booths was a financial aid booth and a transfer center booth. Students were able to get plenty of their questions answered at those booths.

The Mini University Fair is the last transferring fair that the school will have on campus for this semester.

If a student wishes to get more information on transferring, Mattison recommends that he goes to the transfer center, or set up an appointment to meet with a counselor.

About the Contributor
Samantha Vasquez, Multimedia Editor
Spring 2015 Dear person looking at this bio, stop. Just stop. Ha! I kid. HI I'M SAM...and I do not like green eggs and ham. But I do like froyo. I'm a journalism major and for anyone that doesn't know what I intend to do with it, let me tell you...neither do I. It's just a passion I have and I enjoy everything within it. This is my second semester on the paper. This semester i'm the multimedia editor so I hope to do some exciting new things with that! Enough about school, more about myself. When i'm not at school, I'm working at one of my two jobs. In my free time, you can catch me roaming around the city or in front of a computer. My three addictions are social media, television and unfrosted PopTarts. I love to tweet nonsensicals and like pictures of different animals on Instagram. I love meeting new people even though many would say, "if awkward had a child, it would no doubt be her." One of my goals in life is to have Obama (or Beyonce) follow me back on Twitter. With all that being said, I can't wait to see what's in store for this semester. Let's get weird, Talon Marks! BYEEEE.
