On Tuesday, Feb. 17, President Frederick G. Slabach and Angela College President Larry Phillips, Ph.D. signed an articulation agreement between the two colleges. Articulation agreements help make the transfer process more seamless for students.

Bridges such as these help community college students successfully transfer and complete bachelor degrees to go on to a long list of careers and graduate programs. 

While on campus, admissions team members also attended the Angelina College Transfer Fair, where they met with students who are interested in transferring to a university to complete their bachelor’s degree.
