abstract
Practitioners’ ability to effectively collaborate with colleagues both inside and outside of the institution is critical to creating and sustaining transfer student programs and services. Despite a burgeoning field examining this issue, little is understood about how practitioners collaborate in transfer student work, particularly at four-year institutions. This study will examine two four-year institutions as contextual case studies of practitioner collaboration in transfer student work. Qualitative methods and an Activity Systems Analysis (ASA) framework will be used to understand the individual and social interactions of these collaborations in greater detail. A deeper understanding of the practitioner perspective of transfer student work will help institutions in the execution of the transfer student experience.
