Come build your Mason community and celebrate transfer stories! Join faculty, staff, and transfer students from around the university for this networking event. It is a chance for transfer students to connect with faculty and staff who were transfer students themselves and to hear about their experiences and advice they have. This event is open to all: if you transferred in the past, if you are friends with transfer students, or if you have kids or other members of your support system you would like to bring.

There will be a gear exchange where you can bring gear from your old institution and replace it with Mason gear and a thank you card station where you can thank those who helped you on your path.
