Society's New Web-based Transfer Program Featured in Community College Association's Publication
CollegeFish.org,
Phi Theta Kappa's interactive web-based program designed to help community
colleges students planning to transfer, was recently featured in the American
Association of Community Colleges publication, the Community
College Times.
Phi Theta Kappa Executive Director
Rod Risley officially unveiled CollegeFish.org
to more than 3,800 delegates at the Society's 89th annual International
Convention in Nashville, Tennessee.
Aimed at smoothing the
transition from a two-year college to a four-year, the program gives community
college students the opportunity to explore more than 2,000 profiles on
senior colleges and to navigate the transfer process.
CollegeFish.org
will be comprised of two major components - TransferFish for planning completion
of baccalaureate degree, and CareerFish for aiding career planning.
Currently
Phi Theta Kappa members can log onto CollegeFish.org to build
individual profiles in the TransferFish database. After the initial version
of TransferFish is officially released, members will have 24/7 access
the moment they enroll in their first class. TransferFish is scheduled
to be launched in fall of 2007.

CollegeFish.org contact Director of Scholarship Programs Heather Johnson
