What is Transfer STEM Immersion?

Transfer STEM Immersion is an immersive learning community for incoming transfer students interested in science, technology, engineering, math, or medicine disciplines. This program can help create a less stressful—and more successful—transition to UW–Madison.

Transfer STEM Immersion offers a summer orientation program as well as events and informal gatherings throughout the academic year that focus on building community among peers, finding yourself in STEM at UW–Madison, and sharing resources that support your academic journey.

Who is Transfer STEM Immersion for?

Transfer STEM Immersion welcomes and prepares incoming undergraduate transfer students, regardless of level, for success at UW–Madison by cultivating a STEM-focused community and continual learning environment.

What will STEM Immersion do for me?

  • Encourage excitement about the breadth of STEM majors and opportunities
  • Create an environment of intentional opportunities for students to interact with peers as well as faculty, staff members, graduate students, and the greater UW–Madison community
  • Introduce students to the learning and development opportunities that will occur throughout the collegiate experience
  • Create a welcoming environment for all students—especially first-generation students and those from underrepresented groups—as they make the transition to college
  • Encourage academic and social collaboration among diverse STEM colleagues

New to campus? The events listed below are for you! Get to know the STEM community and engage with other new transfer students from across campus.

Help make your transition to UW–Madison a success by joining a STEM Transfer Mentor Group!

Combining monthly small group meetings with one-on-one support, these groups are an opportunity to connect with other transfer students, get guidance from an experienced peer mentor, and learn about being involved in STEM on campus. It’s a flexible and fun way to start finding your place at UW–Madison.
