45 universities fill Mall for Transfer Day By Ryan Kassebaum Reporter

tudents were actively engaged in Pierce College’s Transfer College Fair in an attempt to learn more about the transfer process and set their eyes on four-year institutions where they can continue their academic journey. Pierce College’s annual Transfer Fair was held Wednesday, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Pierce College Mall with 45 universities in attendance. The fair focused on allowing students to engage with a representative from one of the universities and start the decision process for the school they want to continue moving forward with. Sonoma State University Recruiting Counselor Kyle Williams aimed to help students with the application process as well as get to know the campus of Sonoma State University better. Williams believes having a transfer day can allow the universities to be more accessible to the students and allow for them to be more transparent. “Some students don’t know where exactly they want to go so it can make it a bit easier because there are a billion colleges that they could possibly go to,” Williams said. “So it kind of makes it a little more real and easier for them to decide which ones to go to.”

and what campus life is like. Stuff that you can’t necessarily get from a website.” Pierce College student Kai Nguyen believes there is great importance in having transfer
