Schenkel recognized at event in Jefferson City, Mo.
Northwest Missouri State University dean of enrollment management, Bev Schenkel has been recognized for her work in helping to create the Reverse Transfer Program.
She was recognized at an event sponsored in Jefferson City, Mo., by the Coordinating Board for Higher Education and the Department of Higher Education to mark the statewide roll out of the Missouri Reverse Transfer Program.
The program was launched last month to allow students who have earned a minimum of 15 credit hours at a community college and have transferred to a four-year university to transfer credit hours back to the community college to receive a marketable associate degree.
Schenkel was recognized for her membership on the Missouri Reverse Transfer Steering Committee where she worked to implement the program between 2012 and 2014.
Legislation sponsored by Sen. David Pearce and Rep. Mike Thomson to create the Reverse Transfer Program was approved by the Missouri General Assembly in 2012.
In 2013, Northwest partnered with Metropolitan Community College as part of a statewide pilot of the program.
