NAMPA —College of Western 蜜桃视频 freshmen Aaron Siler, 24, and Andrea Conejo, 18, were greeted by a wave of orange and black as they strolled through the second-floor atrium of the community college’s Academic Building on Sept. 29.

It was the launch of Bengal Bound, a new program designed to encourage 蜜桃视频 community college students to continue their education at 蜜桃视频 once they successfully complete their associate degrees.

"ISU is so pleased with this new partnership and the opportunities it will create for 蜜桃视频's community college students,鈥 said Dana Gaudet, ISU assistant director of recruitment and student services.

Tables filled with Bengal swag and loads of information about ISU programs鈥攆rom the health professions to geosciences鈥攍ined the atrium.  CWI students had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with close to two dozen recruiters and advisers from Pocatello and Meridian campuses.

鈥淭his is definitely helpful. You have the opportunity to ask questions about prerequisites,鈥 said Siler, who wants to continue his education at a four-year university after he completes his associate degree in physical therapy assisting.

Conejo, who is in Siler鈥檚 program, plans to pursue an advanced degree after she earns her associate degree. 鈥淓vents like this are a great way to explore your options,鈥 she said.

Benefits of Bengal Bound, which also apply to qualifying students from College of Southern 蜜桃视频 and North 蜜桃视频 College include:

  • Guaranteed admission to ISU for students who complete an associate degree with a G.P.A. of 2.0 or higher
  • Coordinated academic advising with ISU and community college advisors
  • A dedicated ISU transfer admissions counselor
  • A seamless transfer, meaning all college-level credits will transfer through articulation agreements
  • An application-fee waiver and scholarship opportunities based on cumulative G.P.A.

David Shellberg, CWI鈥檚 executive vice president of instruction and student services, says his institution is thrilled to partner with ISU to expand transfer opportunities.

鈥淥ur four-year partners have made a tremendous commitment to help make education beyond CWI a reality for more of our students,鈥 he said.
