Publish Date: March 16, 2021

Transfer Center Coordinator Mariana Moreno has been selected to present at the California Community College Transfer Summit on March 3. This one- day virtual conference will bring together transfer center directors, counselors, and staff from across all 116 California community colleges to discuss relevant issues that impact transfer students.


With ten years of experience as a transfer center director, Moreno is pleased to share best practices with her colleagues. “The summit is a chance for us to learn from each other and share best practices to better serve transfer students,” explained Moreno.


This is Moreno’s second year presenting at the summit, and with a solid program in place at Crafton, she is often asked by colleagues from other institutions for guidance. “In the Inland Empire and across the state, Crafton has a strong reputation in transfer among our CCC colleagues. We are always trying to improve how we meet the needs of our students, and I am always willing to share with other colleges.”


Moreno’s presentation, Using Technology to Connect Your Team, Build Your Brand and Stand Out in the Electronic Tidal Wave, will help other community colleges provide transfer services that are effective and timely. Moreno will be co- presenting with transfer center directors from College of the Desert and Mount San Jacinto Community College. The trio will provide attendees with tools to duplicate efforts already established at these respected trailblazing institutions and better meet the needs of students at their respective colleges.


Moreno credits her service as an advisor to the State Research and Planning Group’s Through the Gate Transfer Study, a multiphase study investigating the transfer landscape, challenges, and opportunities across the CCC system as being integral to Crafton’s transfer program success. “The new services and initiatives I have undertaken at Crafton are largely due to my participation in this study,” stated Moreno.
