Fayetteville Technical Community College recently unveiled its newly decorated “Monarch Mills” hallway − showcasing its partnership with Methodist University aimed at encouraging more transfer students to consider transferring to pursue four-year degrees with MU.
Located in FTCC’s Horace Sisk General Classroom Building, the hallway ensemble features Methodist University branding, program information, and QR codes directing prospective students to the latest resources. Created by MU Marketing & Communications staff (design by La’Won Williams, photos from Karalee Scouten, and printing by Eric Dowden), the nearly two dozen images and messaging are part of the “Monarch Mills” initiative created to make the transfer process more approachable.
“This hallway represents the spirit of our collaboration with FTCC,” said Dr. Suzanne Blum Malley, provost at Methodist University, in a press release. “FTCC students are our largest transfer group, and we’re excited to help them find their path forward.”
For Jenny Xiong, director of Transfer Student Services the hallway is about helping to open the eyes of students to new possibilities. “It really puts us in front of students who might not be thinking about transferring yet,” she said in a press release. “It shows them we’re here − and that others have taken this step, too.”
Methodist University offers multiple guided pathways and works closely with FTCC to ensure a smooth transition for students. To learn more about transfer opportunities at MU, visit methodist.edu/transfer.
