New service for transfer students by Traci Manning other two areas are the Upward Bound and the Talent Search programs. Timm, with the help of ‘Developmental Studies Technician Collyn. Riedasch, will utilize grant monies for visitation in Michigan, two workshops, and the purchase of computer programs to “aid students with the transferring process. The workshops will be held at the beginning of next semester focusing on financial aid and the application process. The computer program reviews catalogs from four year colleges, letter formats and application forms. Timm hopes the students from local high schools will find out Timm will attend meetings with other directors to develop ideas to help the students. Students can receive help by contacting Jackie Timm in The Learning Center. ”There are no boundaries for schools we can help you transfer to,” Timm states, hoping students: will use this opportunity.
