The UNT Transfer Center works to create a strong community for transfer students while connecting them to essential campus resources.
“Over 5,000 students transfer into UNT each year. By supporting their transition and fostering their success, we ensure that they not only find their place at UNT but also excel academically and socially,” said Elizabeth With, senior vice president for the Division of Student Affairs.
Transfer Ambassadors like Nomnso Chas-Nwam and Anniemae Amio, both transfer students themselves, play a key role in carrying out that mission.
“Our job is to help transfer students acclimate to UNT,” said Chas-Nwam, a senior studying cybersecurity. “Transferring can be stressful, and students often look for someone who has been through similar experiences to help guide them.”
The UNT Transfer Center is part of Orientation and Transition Programs in the Division of Student Affairs. Read more about National Transfer Student Week and  the work of UNT's Transfer Center at UNT News.</main-content></item>
