"I first heard about the FAU Link Transfer Success Program from an inspiring professor when I was a student at Broward College,海德说, scheduled to graduate from FAU in 2023 with BFA in Theatre, with a concentration in Set Design and Lighting Design. “我在布劳沃德获得了AA证书, with the idea that I wanted to design for entertainment: live performances, 音乐会, 旅游节目, 电影, 和电视,她说. “有一次我申请了林克，并被录取了, I felt confident enough to pursue the extensive program in my field at FAU. Since I was receiving a substantial amount of scholarship aid through the FAU Link Transfer Success Program, working full-time wasn’t necessary and for the first time I was able to become a student full-time."

Hyde said that with all this time dedicated to her studies, she is able to give her full attention to projects/portfolio work. ”也, it leaves me flexible enough to accept professional opportunities in my area of study – instead of just working a mall job, I can add real life experience while I study, which in this day is exactly what every college student needs."

学生 理查德Gurzo first learned about the FAU Link Transfer Success Program through a poster advertising it at the Broward College campus. "I was a freshman at the time, so I did not know a lot about how transferring works. 看完之后, 我在网上做了一些调查, and asked about it in the admission office and they told me that I can meet a representative. 第二天我预约了, and we completed my application to the program,古尔佐说。, who praises how easy FAU made the transfer process. "FAU already had every file on me and I just had to create an account and my transferring was complete. It was so smooth that I barely believed it, to this day it was the easiest thing in my college career. I saved a lot of money by getting classes that were required for my major done at Broward College and I am on track to graduate even earlier than I am supposed to." Gurzo expects to graduate with a bachelor’s in Economics and a minor in Finance in 2023. He is currently seeking an internship at an investment banking firm. His long-term goal is to be an Economist at the Federal Reserve.

Dr. Lopez-Velez said that one of the biggest challenges transfer 学生 face are losing earned credits. "Our Link Advisors will meet with them every semester (at their state college) to advise them on their registration plans for the semester. This will help them in avoiding taking courses that are not required for their four-year degree, and ensure they complete any required courses before transferring to FAU." The application process is simple: First, enroll at a Link partner college such as Broward College or 迈阿密戴德学院. Second, complete the 链接程序 interest form at http://www.能力.edu/link/. 第三, a FAU Link Advisor will contact the student to schedule the initial advising meeting (in-person or virtual). The FAU team will guide the 学生 through the rest of the process.

Dr. Lopez-Velez said that engaging and connecting with the 学生 is one of the best parts of her job. "Link 学生 have joined us at so many social, 体育和学术活动, 比如去奥兰多环球影城, FAU足球尾门派对, the Roadmap to Success Conference on our FAU 戴维 campus, and some have even participated in our Undergraduate Research Symposium,她说. "Being able to offer Link 学生 the opportunity to participate in these events while they are still enrolled at the state college, allows them to start building relationships with other FAU 学生, staff and faculty and build a sense of belonging with the FAU community."
