The Transfer Relations Expo Wednesday featured five 30-minute sessions on topics from the best place to eat in Charleston to how to write a will.

The expo featured informational sessions with speakers from organizations including Career Services and the Counseling Center.

One of the sessions was a transfer student panel, made up of transfer counselor Leigh McElhenny and Samantha Williams, intern for Transfer Relations.

The question-and-answer style panel allowed new transfer students to ask questions about campus and things to do around Charleston.

“There are groups on campus for just about anything and everything possible,” McElhenny said. “And if those don’t interest you there are plenty of other things in the area to keep you entertained.”

The panel discussed what Charleston has to offer off campus such as different restaurants, shops in the area and attractions on the Charleston Square.

“This town isn’t as small as people think it is,” Williams said. “There is a lot out there if you just explore beyond campus.”

According to McElhenny, Eastern is “right in the center of cool.” She said it is not far from Champaign and Effingham, and also equidistant from Chicago and Indianapolis.

Other sessions during the expo were presented seminar style. Representatives of Career Services, Eastern’s Counseling Center and the School of Continuing Education spoke about available services.
