Description

Today we meet with Jendi Samai, a first-generation student who transferred to UCLA in the Summer of 2015.  Jendi has earned both a Bachelor's Degree in English with Honors and an African American Studies Minor.  She is completing her Master's Degree in African American studies and is now navigating her process into law school.  Jendi serves as the Graduate Mentoring and Research Program Liaison to the Center for Community college Partnerships as our Transfer Student Graduate mentor.

She speaks with us today on the strong, yet often sadly discredited journey of the transfer student experience and then offer advice on what transfer students can do on their route to graduate school.
