For decades, Chicanx/Latinx students, faculty, and staff at UC Davis have worked to make the campus more accessible and responsive to the needs of its historically marginalized members.
Writing Our HSItory: Pioneras/os Project
As part of the HSI Showcase, we unveiled the first articles in Thomas O'Donnell’s “Pioneras/os Project”—an ongoing series dedicated to telling the story of UC Davis’ journey to becoming an HSI.
Thank you to Taller del Nuevo Amanecer (TANA) for their beautiful screen prints and demonstration and to Danzantes del Alma for the incredible performance!

About Avanza
Avanza is UC Davis' HSI Initiative brand campaign launched in celebration of the 2022-23 academic year.
We chose the term because it honors the strength, energy, and forward thinking of our comunidad at UC Davis. AVANZA honors past, present, and future. It represents momentum. It recognizes the activism and movements that have already transformed our institution and that continue to push us in new and important directions.
About UC-HSI
