YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – Local students considering transferring to college learned more about college transfer at the Desert Southwest Transfer Conference.

Arizona Western College (AWC) is hosting a week of events to prepare students for a successful transition to the college of their choice.

The University of Arizona (UA), Arizona State University (ASU), and Northern Arizona University (NAU) each have specific days for students to consider their options and begin the admissions process.

“We know they can be accessed online, but it’s really great for students to have someone in person who can tell them more about the opportunity,” said Angela Amezaga, Transfer Services and Programs Coordinator.

Monday was the Yuma Transfer and Career Expo, which focused on career information and internship opportunities.

Tuesday will be ASU Day, Wednesday will be UA Day, and Thursday will be NAU Day.

All events will be held on the AWC campus from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
