The Global Community College Transfer Network is a soon-to-be 501c3 launched by passionate community college graduates and transfers that have received competitive funding for global education and are pursuing careers in foreign affairs. By telling the stories of incredible transfer students, we aspire to both de-stigmatize community college educational pathways while closing knowledge gaps to encourage more community college & transfer students to aspire to competitive funding and international careers. This is a labor of love for us, and we are happy to share our professional & personal networks with future generations of community college graduates. We look forward to connecting with you!
Upon completion of the crash course, opportunities for longer-term mentoring (i.e. work-shopping personal statements, talking with previous program participants, etc.) will be available to interested participants. Our goal is to improve community college student representation in competitive opportunities nationally, and you all are a key part of that. We are currently hoping to scale up our mentoring operations as we expand and build our network of community college graduates, and we are looking forward to working with you all!
