CC to PhD: Guiding Transfer Students to Grad School Alma Emadi, Industrial Engineering major; Will Mari, Communication Ph.D. student; Steven Simpkins, Nursing Ph.D. student; moderated by Raven Avery, UW Seattle This panel features students who began at community college, transferred to the UW, and are successfully pursuing graduate school in the sciences and humanities. Panelists will share their experiences and advice, so you can help guide students along the path from CC to PhD. We will also highlight programs that assist students on this journey. EXPERIENCE TRANSFER THURSDAY Conference participants are invited to participate in a regularly scheduled Transfer Thursday, right alongside students who will be in attendance.
