About Me
Hello! I’m Emma Jett, and I am the Transfer Success Advisor for the College of Engineering and Information Technology. While I am a resource for all of our COEIT Transfer students, I am the assigned advisor for all of our Mechanical Engineering transfer students, and many of our Computer Science transfers. I have worked with COEIT transfer students since Fall of 2023, but I have been a member of UMBC’s community since 2017 when I started my own educational journey in the English Department (MA ’23, BA ’21).
In my current role as Transfer Success Advisor, I work to ensure that each of you have as smooth of a transfer journey as possible. While I am certainly here as a resource for all-things major-related, I can also get you connected with all of the academic, professional, support, wellbeing, and social resources that you have access to at UMBC. I’m looking forward to working with you towards your graduation day!
Along with advising, I also teach sections of UNIV 301 for our COIET Transfers, and I serve on committees like UMBC’s Transfer Success Committee to support campus-wide initiatives for transfer student success.
Fun fact: I grew up going to my grandfather’s farm in West Virginia – there’s nothing more stunning than a clear, starry night in the mountains. In my free time I like to play board games, video games, bake, and embroider. Arguably, I have an embarrassing number of hours in Stardew Valley.
