Physical distance doesn't just create a longer commute for rural community college students—it acts as a multiplier, exacerbating every standard barrier to transfer. In our "Transfer Among Rural Learners" webinar, we unpack the realities of the rural penalty and explore how both students and institutions navigate geographic isolation.
Featuring insights from student focus groups and a panel of experts from Porterville College, Lake Tahoe Community College, San Bernardino Valley College, and Lassen Community College, this discussion dives into the hidden costs of rural education. Watch the recording to learn how rural colleges are surviving through "innovation by necessity," and discover bold, actionable strategies for helping geographically isolated students build the social capital they need to successfully transfer.
