TRANSFER STUDENT PANEL – NEED VOLUNTEERS!
On Friday, September 18, 2009, the College of Engineering will be hosting a Drive-In conference for our regional community college partners. Attendees will include advisors, faculty, and administrators from our primary transfer institutions. At 1:30 p.m. we will have a “transfer student panel” where I am looking for students to share their experiences transferring to OSU (challenges, what you felt prepared for, what you didn’t, etc.). If you are in Corvallis at that time and willing to help, please email Brett.McFarlane@oregonstate.edu. Lunch and a COE T-shirt will be provided to all panelists.
