. NOVA and Mason have a responsibility to lead the way in finding solutionsto the transfer problem, because we have one of the largest partnerships of this kind. Significantresearch has already been reported on the topic of transfer students. For example, see theTransfer Playbook by the Aspen Institute: (https://ccrc.tc.columbia.edu/media/k2/attachments/transfer-playbook-essential-practices.pdf).Mason and NOVA are relying on documented best practices to design and implementADVANCE. We are drawing on these resources to design ADVANCE, with the goal of buildinga blueprint for Virginia and a transfer model that is scalable across the country. The impact onour nation will be profound if we can dramatically improve student success rates for
