The Mall was awash in CSUN red, UCLA blue and other vibrant college colors last Wednesday, as Pierce College students celebrated their transfer acceptances.
The Transfer Celebration on May 15, which was hosted by the Transfer Center, included a photo booth, information stands set up by various four-year universities, an advice wall and a transfer goals wall.

The event’s hundreds of attendees also had the opportunity to play carnival games including a bean bag toss and bowling, as well as eat churros and hot dogs with friends.
Featuring activities geared toward both accepted transfer students and prospective transfers, the event aimed to bring the Pierce community together through shared excitement for the future.

You’re getting information about it in all one place. This is a perfect place to ask questions without hesitation about getting judged for the type of question and a lot of good free info and you might get to connect with people at the campus once you transfer.” Photo by Karla Delgado.
