Avanzando

In October 2021, Santa Rosa Junior College was selected to receive a Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) grant for the District’s Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and Health Sciences programs. From this funding, the Avanzando Initiative ("to advance forward") was born. The goals of the Avanzando Initiative are to improve the academic success and completion rates among Latinx students and increase the number of Latinx and other low-income students attaining STEM and Health Science certificates, degrees, and transfer. The Avanzando Initiative intends to provide multiple resources and supports that are known to be impactful for student success.
