COMPASS is designed to help transfer students connect their previous experiences with professional and educational opportunities at Chapman and to facilitate a successful transition into the Chapman Family. Students will learn how to “Think Chapman First” when searching for resources and support, build a community of peers who share the transfer experience, develop and apply social branding tools, create a professional resume and cover letter, facilitate informational interviewing, network successfully and balance time efficiently.

Students that successfully complete the program requirements receive a certificate of completion and invitations to exclusive networking opportunities, including Chapman's Certified Student/Employer Mixer at the end of each Semester.
