This Work in Progress study explores strategies to support historically marginalized engineering students transitioning from community colleges to four-year institutions. The transfer process presents systemic challenges, requiring leadership from policy and program leaders to foster institutional collaboration. Utilizing the collective impact framework, this study examines perspectives from seven transfer program leaders who participated in structured discussions during a two-day convening in May 2024. Key findings highlight the importance of academic preparation, articulation agreements, financial aid, summer bridge programs, and industry partnerships in facilitating smoother transitions. This study offers actionable insights for policymakers and educators seeking to improve transfer pathways in engineering education.
