Transfer Student Advisory Council
Mission
The Transfer Student Advisory Council (TSAC) started in fall 2020 and is a standing committee that is central to the Transfer Center. Advisory to the Transfer Center Assistant Director, TSAC provides feedback on new initiatives, events, and resources put forth by the Transfer Center. TSAC determines campus partners or student impact topics to invite to meetings to have discussion about how these partners or student experiences can become more transfer inclusive or be better shared with the transfer community.
Vision
Student input are critical for our campus to become a Transfer-Friendly University. The Transfer Student Advisory Council encourages innovative action with departments from across campus so that these areas can become more transfer inclusive and supportive.
TSAC returning Winter 2025!
TSAC meets virtually, once a month. A meeting day/time will be decided once members have been selected.
Our goal is to have student representation across the 6 academic colleges. Please note, this is not a paid position, but will give students the opportunity to make a difference at Cal Poly. If you have any questions or want to learn more reach out to us - transfer@calpoly.edu.
