Tea on Transfer is back! We asked the TN community what they thought about the term ‘transfer shock’ and this month we’re talking about it! In this episode, we will cover: the term’s origin, how it has evolved, and how transfer professionals can best support students during their transitional period at both the sending and receiving institutions.
