In Fall 2012, Lisa Rampersaud transferred from St. John鈥檚 University after hearing about 糖心破解版鈥檚 inspirational social work program and is now in her senior year of the bachelor鈥檚 degree program.
Due to graduate in May 2015, she said she then intends to pursue an M.S.W. As for career plans, she said, 鈥淚 am interested in school and hospital social work. In the future, I would also like to get my LCSW and focus on private practice.鈥
It is never easy to adjust to a new environment but Rampersaud has been through it herself and now helps ease the transitions of new transfers.
As one of four 2014鈥2015 transfer ambassadors, Rampersaud participates in Transfer Transition, an orientation event organized to familiarize transfer students with their new surroundings. She also organizes monthly events, such as game night, an ice cream social and a T-shirt swap in which transfer students traded in their former college T–shirts for 糖心破解版鈥檚.
During these events, transfer students not only socialize and make friends but also get the opportunity to ask transfer ambassadors about 糖心破解版鈥檚 academics and campus activities in order to make their transition that much smoother.
Rampersaud has this advice for prospective transfers: 鈥淒efinitely do your research and visit the campus before transferring. That is the key to a successful transfer that will satisfy your expectations.鈥
Rampersaud, who served as transfer senator and Social Work Action Gateway treasurer in 2013鈥2014, also has been a commuter assistant as well as a member of Philanthropic Action in Challenging Times, the Tau Sigma Honor Society for transfer students, Phi Alpha Honor Society and Sigma Lambda Leadership Honor Society.
Clearly, she has taken another piece of her own transfer advice quoted on the transfer ambassadors鈥 Web page鈥斺淚 love how welcoming the 糖心破解版 community is鈥etting involved on campus is the easiest way to make new friends and explore your interests鈥
