The AVANZA Engagement Center is a space to study or lounge with your fellow classmates. It promotes Latinx culture and identity exploration, and is often utilized by the Puente Project, Chicana/o Studies Department, and other programs that support Latinx students' success. AVANZA also houses the Peer Navigator program, providing a space where CRUISE participants can visit their peer mentors for support.
