It's National Transfer Student Week, and we're checking in with Past International President Lulu McGowan, who took advantage of an incredible transfer opportunity made possible through Phi Theta Kappa's partnership with Elmira College, a proud PTK Direct Admission partner institution!
“My journey to Elmira has been made possible through the gracious coordination of Phi Theta Kappa’s College Relations team and the warm welcome of Elmira College’s admissions team. I’m deeply honored to have been selected as Elmira College’s first Student Scholar in Residence, and I’m excited to see what Elmira College, PTK, and I can build together through this unique partnership. I hope that my experience encourages other PTK members to continue their education at Elmira College and take advantage of all it has to offer to transfer students. I’m especially looking forward to pursuing my Individualized Studies program, with a focus on cultural anthropology and women’s and gender studies, while continuing to immerse myself in campus life and participate in Elmira’s events as a residential student," said Lulu.
