Programming Pillars
Transitions and Beyond
The Commuter Assistant and Transfer Assistant programs are designed to help ease transitions for students who are new to the University of Miami. Campus Transitions and Beyond programs put an emphasis on resources at students’ disposal to help enhance their academic, personal and professional development at the University.
Campus Involvement
The Commuter Assistant and Transfer Assistant programs are designed to help students feel a sense of belonging at the University of Miami. Campus Involvement programs are centered on how students can find their niche by exploring areas within their interests and outside of their comfort zone.
Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives
The Commuter Assistant and Transfer Assistant programs are designed to help students feel connected to one another and assist in broadening their understanding of identities and ways of living that may be different than their own.
Surviving and Thriving
The Commuter Assistant and Transfer Assistant programs are designed to help students understand the importance of self-care, personal-responsibility and overall well-being and how to manage all of these areas as a University of Miami student.

Mission
The Transfer Assistants aspire to integrate incoming transfer students into the Cane family. Their aim is to guide these students in their transition to UM by:
- Actively engaging students in campus life events
- Supporting students through any challenges they may face by providing mentorship
- Providing students with the knowledge of on-campus resources to encourage success
Tau Sigma
Tau Sigma is an academic honor society designed specifically to "recognize and promote the academic excellence and involvement of transfer students." By establishing chapters at four-year institutions across the country, Tau Sigma is able to recognize the academic achievement of the most outstanding transfers nationwide and, in the process, help universities better serve their transfer populations.
Tau Sigma members are perhaps the greatest resource available to serve the current and future transfers at your institution. Tau Sigma was approved as an official student organization through the Committee on Student Organizations (COSO) in Spring 2019. More information on how to join coming soon.
