National Transfer Student Week (NTSW)
2025 NTSW - October 20-24, 2025
Theme and workshops coming soon!
At Wayne State University, we proudly celebrate our Transfer Warriors! Transfer students are an essential part of our campus community, representing half of our graduating class each year. To honor our transfer students and the faculty and staff who support them, the Transfer Student Success Center will host a series of events during National Transfer Student Week (NTSW). We invite you to join us in this celebration! #TransferStudentWeek
Additional NTSW Initiatives
Advisors who would like to highlight a transfer student they have worked with should encourage the student to submit a Transfer Student Spotlight form. Click the link in the title for past Spotlight subjects.
Did you know transfer students can Thank a Transfer Champion? Transferring schools is an exciting process, but one that usually requires help along the way. Transfer students looking to say thanks to someone who helped them during their transfer journey can now do so through the Transfer Student Success Center’s “Thank a Transfer Champion” initiative. Students are not limited to thanking faculty and staff at Wayne State - they can thank those at partner community colleges as well.
