Transitioning to college life can be challenging. We are committed to providing you with a great experience as you begin your studies at Winthrop University. Our Transfer Fellows (TFs) are here to assist you! These students serve in a dual role - during Orientation they'll guide you through your experience, and then during the semester are available to serve as a resource to you as you navigate Winthrop.
As a part of Orientation and Welcome Week, you'll be matched up with a Transfer Fellow - who is a transfer student committed to assisting you in your Winthrop experience! Transfer Fellows serve as a connection to campus by participating in Orientation, hosting social events throughout the semester to help you build relationships, and answering any questions you may have about campus life.
As a transfer student, you have specific concerns and questions about your Winthrop experience. Who better to ask than another student who has been in your shoes? The TFs are available during the semester to meet and chat about your experience. Getting connected with them is as easy as contacting our office!
