Phi Theta Kappa has named MSU Denver to its 2018 Transfer Honor Roll, which identifies the top four-year colleges and universities for excellence and success in community college transfer pathway development.

It’s the third consecutive year MSU Denver has been named to the honor roll.

“I’m proud and honored to work with staff who are dedicated to serve transfer students,” said Lori Kester, associate vice president for enrollment management. “MSU Denver staff go above and beyond to serve transfer students and make MSU Denver a transfer friendly institution.”

MSU Denver was one of 112 colleges and universities named to the honor roll, which was open to all regionally accredited baccalaureate degree-granting institutions.

Applications are evaluated in the areas of scholarship and financial aid, admissions outreach, student support services, and student engagement opportunities.

Colleges will be recognized at PTK Catalyst 2018 — Theta Kappa’s annual convention in Kansas City, Missouri, in April.

“In order to ensure their continued success, the Transfer Honor Roll Program identifies colleges and universities that understand the unique needs of transfer students and applauds the dynamic pathways these colleges have created to continue fostering student success among transfer students at the four-year college,” said Phi Theta Kappa President and CEO Lynn Tincher-Ladner.
