About Equity & Student Achievement
The Office of Equity & Student Achievement recognizes that some students face additional barriers to accessing higher education than others due to systemic and structural inequities. We aim to address these barriers by offering cross-cultural programming and events that provide enriching opportunities to enhance literary knowledge, tolerance, historical empathy, and critical thinking and allocate resources for the campus community to create a more equitable and inclusive institution.
Our goal is to engage, connect, and value every student at AVC and support their success in pursuing their educational goals.
