Welcome back to TransferTALK, the podcast where we dive deep into all things transfer and higher ed—without putting you to sleep!
Today’s guest is someone who knows the transfer game inside and out. He’s been on both sides of the higher ed fence—faculty, administrator, recruiter—you name it, he’s done it. I’m talking about Martin Smith, who’s leading the charge as the Assistant Vice President of Admissions at the University of South Florida, making sure transfer and non-traditional students don’t just get in, but thrive.
We’re covering a lot in this episode—why Florida has some of the most unique (and let’s be honest, sometimes complicated) transfer rules, what actually matters when measuring student success, and how USF is making a massive campus feel like home for transfers. Oh, and we even get into athletics, campus life, and whether your high school GPA still haunts you as a transfer student. Spoiler alert: it might.
So grab a coffee, a notebook, or just settle in—this is one you don’t want to miss. Let’s get into it!"
