Hello students!

Happy spring semester! My name is Kim Casimbon and I am the Academic Advisor for UMBC-Shady Grove’s Computer Science and Mechanical Engineering program. I am currently a doctorate candidate at Frostburg State University conducting my research study on transfer students’ experience at USG. I am examining the impact of pre-transfer advising appointments on students’ post-transfer experiences. I am looking for transfer students interested in participating in a hyflex study about the student experience at USG. Below is the study information.

This research study aims to understand transfer students’ post-transfer experience particularly their sense of belongingness and knowledge accumulation about college.
