Instead, they both see the school as a “transfer institution.”They use this phrase to underscore the notion that faculty and staff empower students with theexpectation that they will transfer. Furthermore, they believe that EC stands out from othercommunity colleges that may not articulate this objective as clearly. Dr. Roberts commentedthat he also directs Black and other students to consider transferring to schools like theMassachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgia Institute of Technology while enrolled inEC. In fact, for years, Dr. Roberts encouraged students to consider schools
