Transforming the Transfer Experience Workshop
May 19-20, 2025
Location: Asheville, NC
The Transfer Experience goes far beyond the traditional, limited view of transfer as a technical process simply about articulating credits, a stage of student development, or a novel enrollment management strategy. Rather, this workshop introduces a stimulating array of new perspectives, resources, options, models, and recommendations for addressing the many needs of this huge cohort – making the academic, civic, and social justice cases for improving transfer at both transfer-sending and transfer-receiving institutions.

Asheville, North Carolina.
For over 25 years, Western North Carolina has been home to the Gardner Institute and many of our dedicated staff. In late September 2024, Hurricane Helene severely impacted the Asheville area, as well as parts of South Carolina and Tennessee. Although the region is still recovering from the hurricane’s effects, it is resilient and on the path to rebounding. Tourism plays a vital role in the area’s economy, and we are committed to supporting the hurricane recovery efforts. Recently, the New York Times highlighted Asheville as one of the top 52 places to visit in 2025. (see number 16) Renowned for its exceptional food scene and local breweries, Asheville has felt the loss of tourism in the wake of Helene. However, as this article demonstrates, the city’s beloved restaurants, bars, and breweries are resetting and ready to rebuild Asheville stronger than ever. We welcome you to experience the charm of Asheville and become part of its inspiring comeback story.
