TransferMation
The TransferMation Program is designed to empower and challenge service-minded transfer and transitioning students as they participate in NYC service projects, leadership activities and an Alternative Weekend Break trip. The program will bring together new and returning transfer and transitioning students for an opportunity to develop leadership skills through direct service, education and reflection; while encouraging personal growth, social awareness, and active citizenship. The TransferMation program is advised by two TA's and Transfer & Transitioning Student Programs. Contact Naomi Karp for more information or if you have any questions. The application for the Spring 2013 group has closed.

Frequently Asked Questions
TransferMation is open to all students who have transferred to NYU from another college or university. Priority will be given to students who are starting their first semester at NYU Washington Square.
Students will hold weekly planning meetings, host fundraisers throughout the semester, and engage in monthly community service projects. Time commitments will vary depending on each month’s project but students should be prepared to dedicate approximately 10-12 hours a month to the TransferMation program. Participants also travel on an Alternative Weekend Break towards the end of the semester.
Participants' commitment is for one semester, but there will be opportunities to stay involved throughout the year and mentor the following semesters' TransferMation participants.
An Alternative Break is a trip where a group of students engage in volunteer service, typically for a week. The trip focuses on a specific community or social issue, such as poverty, education, hunger, environment and so on. For TransferMation, students will participate in an Alternative Weekend Break. Weekend Break trips are held within a few hours of NYC. For more information, visit NYU Alternative Breaks.
The Alternative Weekend Break is mandatory and a highlight of the TransferMation experience. The cost of the Alternative Break varies depending on the location. Participants will create and host fundraisers throughout the year to raise finances for the Alternative Break.
The trip is led by two Transfer/Transition Ambassadors and a graduate student advisor from the Student Resource Center.
Applicants will be notified via email by the end of the day Friday, February 15th, 2013.
