Stephanie Higgins named Team Transfer Leader

2012 Nov 30

Stephanie Higgins, a junior communication and art major from Hubertus, Wis., has been accepted into the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Team Transfer program.

Team Transfer Leaders are UW-Whitewater transfer students who have worked and succeeded in the classroom, on campus and in the community. Each Team Transfer Leader serves as a resource person to a group of 60 to 80 transfer students.

"One of the greatest determinants of success is involvement," said Amberly Bell, associate student services coordinator for First Year Experience. "Getting involved in Team Transfer and helping to reach out to students new to our campus provides participants with leadership experience that will follow them to their future careers."

Each Team Transfer Leader goes through a group and individual interview process until 10 finalists are selected to participate in spring and fall training. They also plan and participate in TRANSFERmation, an exciting two-day orientation program designed to help transfer students meet new people and start out their experiences at UW-Whitewater with positive memories.
