UCI Summer Scholars Transfer Institute


 
Students from Santa Ana College and Whittier's Rio Hondo College recently wheeled their suitcases toward Middle Earth housing in preparation for an intense, 10-day residential program intended to prepare community college attendees for the rigors of university life.

 

UC Irvine's Summer Scholars Transfer Institute, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary, is a collaboration between community colleges and UCI's Center for Educational Partnerships. Participants live in campus dorms and complete a University of California-transferable course during their stay. In addition, they have access to UCI computer and library facilities.

 

The goal of the free program is to ensure that community college students receive the academic and social support they need to successfully transition to a four-year university.
