In this episode of TransferTALK, Jay Fedje sits down with Jon Endicott, Dean of Student Services at West Hills College Coalinga, to get real about what it means to be truly transfer-friendly.
With experience in both Private higher ed and the California community college system, Jon shares insights on serving non-traditional students, adult learners, and first-gen students—all while balancing institutional flexibility with academic integrity.
Together, Jay and Jon unpack:
- Why “two-year degree” timelines rarely reflect reality
- The hidden challenges of online learning and free tuition models
- How institutions can evolve their “academic product” to match modern learners
- What higher ed could learn from restaurant menus (yes, we said it again)
If you're ready to stop saying you’re transfer-friendly and start proving it, this one’s for you.
