The Oregon Transfer Days Event is one method of getting information about area colleges to PCC Students. Another way is to stop by either the career center or advising office at any campuses. Staff there are willing to help students with transfer questions. Below are links to both web sites where office hours are also listed.

Students can access the career centers:

or Academic advising offices:

1. Especially if you’re taking courses in the Multimedia program at Cascade campus, conduct informational interviews with faculty in the program and ask for references in the video production field. Follow up with those contacts. If you need help on crafting your resume (as a letter of introduction to employers) and preparing for informational interviews, find the Employment Specialist assigned to your program:

2. Consider doing a Cooperative Education internship in the multimedia field. Coop Ed internships are offered for academic credit and are a partnership among employer, student. PCC faculty member and cooperative education specialist. At the core of these internships are individually defined Learning Objectives. If done well, this hands-on experience helps students determine if they are ready for desired employment or if additional education is required. Here’s a link to the coop ed offices across the district:

By finding out more about the current job market and employer requirements, you can make a better decision on continuing your education. And if you have to go into debt for graduate school, consider your options very carefully. Best of luck to you!

I would like to communicate that attending this event is a great way for students to begin the transfer process, and that the specifics of an academic advising session (for example a transcript evaluation) will come later.

At the event, the admissions representative in attendance are in a position to provide key information points about their programs and connect students to advisors (sometimes the same person)for later consultations and advising sessions. Meeting a rep from a college who is enthusiastic about the various majors at their college can be a great springboard to eventually transferring to this university.

That being said, come on over the Oregon transfer days event in a few weeks. It will be worth your time!

ps: To reply to the post from Marcus: Marcus I recommend that you speak to an academic advisor at any of the campuses as they are in a position, with their knowledge base, to address your questions.
