The annual fall quarter Transfer Day will take place on Thursday, Oct. 29, in the Main Quad from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Representatives from 40 colleges, both public and private, will be in attendance so students can ask questions about transferring and what their specific college campuses have to offer.

“De Anza is a community college second only to Santa Monica. [They] have transfer agreements with the big universities down there,” said Howard Irvin, dean of Counseling.

In the past, De Anza asked college representatives from colleges to come to campus. But recently the trend has been shifting to the other side.

Campuses now request to be allowed to attend the event, eager to get the word out to students about their institutions.

Event organizer and transfer center administrative assistant Dina Crumpton, has overseen Transfer Day for the past three years.

Each year, so many students come to the event in search of much-needed information, that some get turned away due to the excess ratio of students to representatives.

With the number of the student population blossoming to about 25,000, a 50 percent turnout at the event would be large already, at about 12,500 students.

Students who plan to attend should come early to get one-on-one time with the representatives.

Although representatives are on campus throughout the year, this event is unusual in that the information is centralized in one location, ready to share the information about their schools with you.

Transfer-Center Representative Trish Rios Gibson says this is the perfect time for this event to be take place. “Filing periods for CSUs and UCs are during the October and November months, and this event will give you the much needed information you seek to ensure those applications make it to their final destinations.
