Tayla Valencia, a senior at Cal Lutheran, transferred from Allan Hancock in 2022.
โItโs okay not to know and itโs okay to feel alone because itโs very isolatingโฆbut there are a lot more transfer students than you think,โ Valencia said.
Valencia works as a resident assistant for Trinity Hall and as a departmental assistant for the Communication department.
Valencia encourages first-year transfer students to โreach out to your faculty mentor, donโt be afraid, make a connection, communicate the issues youโre experiencing or having to the right person.โ
