Looking to transfer out and don’t know where to go? The American River College Transfer Center will host multiple college campuses along with equity groups who are part of organizing the trips.
Students will be able to tour the campus, ask questions and learn more about each college. One of the staff members has shared some of their thoughts and what they hope you gain from the experience.
