My Take-Aways • Deep sense of uncertainty – “am I smart enough? ” • Reasons for transfer were personal – never reported • Fear of being perceived as stupid or failure if I sought help – “imposter syndrome” • But eventually, sense of pride and confidence in fitting in and succeeding – “warming up” COMMUNITY COLLEGE RESEARCH INITIATIVES CCRI.

My career pathway… • Middle school teacher • Student of adult learning and educational policy • Community college professor & researcher • Lifelong learner and advocate for equity and social justice in education COMMUNITY COLLEGE RESEARCH INITIATIVES CCRI. UW. EDU
Why Study Transfer? • Many students transfer, especially underserved student populations • Transfer students face challenges navigating the system • “We” can do better! COMMUNITY COLLEGE RESEARCH INITIATIVES CCRI. UW. EDU

“Racial Transfer Gap” Crisp & Nuñez (2014) COMMUNITY COLLEGE RESEARCH INITIATIVES CCRI. UW. EDU
What Now “We have to ask ourselves the difficult question of why. We have to inquire if the efforts to increase student completion rates and success measures are truly working if only certain types of students succeed. . . COMMUNITY COLLEGE RESEARCH INITIATIVES CCRI. UW. EDU
These issues are complex, multi-faceted and very personal. Equity issues plague our colleges in different ways, but their DNA is similar. These gaps… share a fundamental part of keeping some students from achieving their educational goals. ” Walter G. Bumphus, President, American Association of Community Colleges April 17, 2019 COMMUNITY COLLEGE RESEARCH INITIATIVES CCRI. UW. EDU
