The Presidents of both Alabama State University (ASU) and Gadsden State Community College (Gadsden State) will announce and sign a formal transfer articulation agreement - a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) - between the two institutions at a joint news conference to be held virtually on Wednesday (May 13) at 1 p.m. The agreement between the two schools provides a pathway that will benefit those students who plan to transfer from Gadsden State to ASU.
ASU President, Dr. Quinton T. Ross Jr., and Gadsden State's President, Dr. Martha Lavender, will sign an MOU to formalize the agreement that will be positive news for students. Initially, the signing was to be held live on Gadsden State's campus in April, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it was moved to Wednesday's live virtual ceremony.
