LBCC’s transfer fair hosted all nine undergraduate UCs, 10 of the CSUs, Pepperdine, GCU and private universities to help students move along their transfer decision process by providing crucial information about their campuses and programs on Tuesday in the A-quad.
Pepperdine University’s recruitment advisor Desiree Williams elaborated on the importance of the Transfer Fair.
“(The fair is important) to help your career for the future, I’ve met students who stayed too long at city college and I was a transfer student myself at Cerritos community college right after 60 units or an AA degree. It’s best that you move on and earn your bachelor’s, it gives you more job opportunities,” Williams said.
LBCC student Julian Sanchez talked about how this transfer fair has helped him out as a transfer student.
“It has helped me by exploring different programs I want to transfer to and just the community in general is just very warm and everybody’s really friendly. The experience here is really fun and making new connections with everybody else,” Sanchez said.
Grand Canyon University (GCU) admissions counselor Briana Carlos expressed the school’s ability to prepare students for hands-on practice.
“We do set you up for hands-on learning, you’re not just sitting in a classroom. You’re very much getting experience at the University which sets you up for job opportunities and internship opportunities when you graduate,” Carlos said.
Biola University’s student admissions ambassador Anna Roth explained what sets Biola’s programs apart from other universities’ programs.

“We actually are the No. 1 Christian school in North America. … We are in the top 27 film schools in the U.S. One of our bigger programs is our film schools offered, but having that Christian rooted film school is something that’s very unique to Biola,” Roth said.
UC Davis assistant director, southern university recruitment, Iona Nee explained UC Davis importance.
“What makes us unique is we are a California college now. So what that means is you have a city that focuses on student experience. We make up more than half of the city of Davis. Davis is a
little under 70,000 people and you’ll find that when you’re in the city which is right next to the campus, you can walk there and bike there from the transfer housing from your classes. Everything you need is within convenience of reach,” Nee said.
LBCC has a transfer center available for students and provides workshops, resources and counseling on both campuses.
The center is located in A-1097 on LAC and EE-105 on the TTC campus.
