In higher education, transfer students navigate unconventional paths, weaving ambition, challenges, and resilience into their journeys. During a student panel at the 2023 Florida Summit on Accelerating Transfer Success, students shared their reasons for transferring, the resources they relied on, and the additional help they would have liked to have.
