Transfer students take part in Transfer PrEP 2016

2016 Transfer PrEP students

From July 20 – July 22, 2016, transfer students admitted to the UC San Diego Jacobs School of Engineering for Fall 2016 took part in Transfer PrEP, a three day orientation event designed to aid students in the transition from community college.

"Transfer PrEp features three days of activities designed to foster a sense of community and support, prepare incoming students academically for the rigor of engineering studies, build awareness of relevant campus programs and resources and connect transfer engineering students to industry and professional networks," said Shane Moise, Student Life Coordinator at the IDEA Student Center who ran the event.

Transfer students get help to prepare for the Jacobs School

"You definitely don't want to have three finals on the same day," one student told an audience of 23 incoming transfer students gathered in the Qualcomm Conference Center in Jacobs Hall Thursday morning. They took note.
The students were there for Transfer PrEP, a three-day residential summer program for incoming transfers organized by the Jacobs School's IDEA Student Center. Students go to meet with faculty, teaching assistants, engineering advisers and industry. They also got lab and company tours and heard from alumni about career options.
Thursday morning, they learned about how to pick their classes and sign up for scholarships, among other things, from a group of former transfer students.
