Wickersham, 2020, Community College Review,48(2), 107-132. MethodsThe current study forms part of a broader investigation into an S-STEM program designed toenhance the academic success of engineering transfer students transitioning from communitycolleges to bachelor's degree programs. This initiative aimed to establish stronger connectionsbetween two community colleges and a partnering 4-year institution. We employed a qualitativeresearch approach to examine the influence of the pre-transfer program, referred to as VirginiaTechs Network for
