Mississippi State University Appoints First Transfer Services Coordinator to Enhance Student Transition
Mississippi State University (MSU) has appointed Katelynn Potter as its inaugural coordinator for transfer services within the Center for Academic Excellence. This new role is designed to streamline the transition process for students transferring from community colleges and other institutions to MSU. Potter, who previously served as an MSU transfer admissions counselor, brings firsthand experience to the position as an alumna who transferred from Itawamba Community College. Her primary goal is to provide curated support, guidance, and connections to help transfer students navigate university life, ensuring they feel supported and empowered to achieve their academic goals. This initiative is part of the Office of the Provost's broader effort to bolster resources focused on student progression and academic achievement, aligning various student support services under a new Academic Achievement subdivision within MSU Academic Affairs.
