What We Do

Vision

The Chicanx/Latinx Student Success Center (also known as Centro) will understand and respond to Latinx/a/o students unique needs through campus community advocacy and student empowerment. 

Centro will be a culturally-sustaining, academically-affirming space where students, staff, and faculty can collaborate to find new and effective ways of increasing Latinx/a/o student persistence, retention, and graduation rates.

 

Mission 

Informed and inspired by the many cultural strengths of Latinx/a/o communities, Centro offers innovative programming and support services that are intentionally designed to enhance Latinx/a/o student success. As a result, Centro provides spaces that validate students’ intersecting identities, affirm their academic capabilities, develop their leadership skills, and foster healthy relationships, while promoting civic and community engagement.
