Hello, my name is Jahi Vaughns, and I am the Transfer Success Program Coordinator and Highlander Transfer Bridge Lead. This program provides an excellent opportunity for students to begin their UCR journey a little early. Students can take courses for academic credit and engage with the campus community, including their peers and staff from a variety UCR departments. Additionally, students will have access to peer mentors who can give them advice on how to make the most of their experience. We intentionally designed the Highlander Transfer Bridge program to support students holistically to ensure their transition into UCR is as smooth as possible. I'm looking forward to meeting you this summer.
