| Abstract: | We present the design and implementation of the Transfer Experience Mentoring Program (TEMPO) at Michigan State University (MSU), which launched in the Fall of 2023. TEMPO is designed to support transfer students through the transition between community colleges and MSU. At the national scale, students who first enroll at community colleges are historically undersupported, especially through the transition into the bachelor's granting institution. TEMPO utilizes resources from MSU to support a student's transition from their final semester of community college and into their first semester at MSU. TEMPO is supported by campus partners at MSU, and financially from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Inclusive Excellence 3 project. In this poster, we will share how the relationships developed in TEMPO facilitate trust through which resources are translated. |
