Abstract:
|
It is no secret that nearly half of undergraduate students start their journey at a community college. While eighty percent of those students intend to earn a bachelor's degree, only fourteen percent will graduate within six years of transferring. After having an honest conversation surrounding these statistics, advisors at Highland Community College and Kansas State University concluded something must be done. As a result, professional relationships were strengthened through the desire to help students succeed. I will share practical ideas for building those relationships and key concepts behind the new DirectLink program at K-State. This unique dual-advising initiative between K-State and the nineteen community colleges in the state of Kansas provides benefits to any student looking to transfer. |
