Talking Midterms, Events, and Snow prep!
For this 3rd installment of the Transfer Jacks Blog we will be talking about midterms, upcoming events, and Thanksgiving tips! With election season right behind us, I want to take some time and remind everyone of the looming dangers…SNOW SEASON!!!
Snow Season Prep
We are projected to have some of the snowiest days we’ve seen thus far! It’s important to remember to stock up on important provisions just in case!
- Warm clothes (scarves, gloves, snow boots, thick socks, etc.)
- Non-perishable foods
- Some foods which are simple to prepare (in case of power outages)
- If you drive, remember to get tire chains for your cars!
- An umbrella can be a lifesaver when the snow is pouring down
- Stock up on cold medicines
For more information on how you can get some of these items here on campus, visit Louie’s cupboard! Located on the left side of Sechrist Hall (San Fran parking garage side)

Midterm Memos
With midterms either just behind us or right ahead of us for some, it’s critical to me that you all know the resources you can take advantage of pre- and post-midterms! We have our academic success center which offers individual drop in tutoring for most classes, those that don’t have specific tutors have student mentors which have taken those courses. We also have supplemental instructors (SI) for most classes, which are a great resource for getting help on some of those more difficult subjects. Likewise, we also have your assigned mentors, which, while not tutors themselves, are able to connect you with any academic resource you may need!

Event Extravaganza
For the month of November, we will be hosting an event for transfer students every Thursday this month!
- Starting us off will be Jeopardy Night this Thursday, 11/7 from 5-6:30 pm in the Transfer Lounge.
- The following Thursday 11/14 we’ll have our Monthly Board Game Night, still from 5-6:30 at the Transfer lounge
- Finally, Thursday 11/21 from 5-6:30 will be our Collage Night still within the Transfer Lounge!
