In 2020, transfer students comprise about 40% of UHM’s degree-seeking undergraduate student population and receive over half of the undergraduate degrees. It is essential to get a clear picture of who our transfers are, where they transferred from, and how they are doing at UHM. MIRO staff will showcase what data can tell us about transfer students using real-life scenarios and inquiries.
Accessing and comparing data and conducting analyses are just a few clicks away using Manoa Institutional Research Office (MIRO)’s innovative and comprehensive data tools. UHM faculty and staff will learn how to access and use various homegrown data web apps to better support student success. Others may find the demonstration helpful in designing their own transfer reports and learning about the transfer population through the data.
HONORED GUEST
“Transfer students are a critical piece of UHM’s Enrollment Management goals and present unique challenges at the individual and institutional levels. These challenges can be decreased if: a) the ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ campuses address internal obstacles; b) we treat transfer students as active partners in their educational journey; and c) we cultivate a shared sense of stewardship to the institution. All student success is recognized as fundamental to the life of all campuses.”
Dr. Ronald Cambra,
Former Assistant Vice Chancellor for Undergraduate Education, University of Hawai’i at Mānoa
