Colleges need to improve transfer relationships in response to the crisis wrought by COVID-19. This article cites the statewide transfer framework developed by North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities as a model for independent colleges. It also quotes Meagan Wilson, co-author of a research report commissioned by Teagle on the opportunity and challenges for promoting transfer to independent colleges. Teagle made grants to support these efforts at North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities in 2018 and 2019.
