Announcing our HSI Initiative Campaign: AVANZA!

  • by Erin Kelley

AVANZA

An HSI Initiative launched in celebration of the 2022-23 academic year
 

Vice Chancellor’s Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion proudly launches AVANZA, a UC Davis Hispanic Serving Institution Initiative branding campaign that celebrates our servingness to the Chicanx/Latinx community.

We chose the term, AVANZA, 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.

 

UC Davis enrolls the second highest number of Chicanx/Latinx students in the UC system.


AVANZA represents our intent to continue to support and invest in our Rising Scholars. Currently, UC Davis enrolls the second highest number of Chicanx/Latinx students in the UC system (second only to UC Riverside) and we serve more than 8000 Chicanx/Latinx undergraduate students, our values and notions of servingness are both foundational to our identity and independent of external designations or recognitions.
