The Avanza Network inspires Mexican-American, Latinx, and other underrepresented students to achieve their full potential by increasing awareness of the transformational power of a college education. Avanza's goal is to significantly increase the number of members of these groups applying and being accepted at the highest level of college matriculation, to improve college graduation rates, and to emphasize the benefits of diverse career paths, highlighting the key benefits of STEAM proficiency, all while cultivating the group's pipeline of talent through the professional development life cycle.
Avanza's vision is a world in which a majority of Mexican-Americans and other U.S. Latinx have earned a college degree, mastered STEAM skills, and eliminated barriers to socioeconomic advancement by contributing and leading in diverse careers. Through these achievements, this demographic then becomes a greater force in the advancement of American society, and through Avanza's efforts, other underprivileged groups will also benefit in the same way.
Avanza is a national organization founded by MIT Mexican-American alumni and friends who are dedicated to the empowerment and advancement of current and aspiring Mexican-American professionals, other U.S. Latinx, and members of underserved populations. Since 2011, Avanza has served as a resource for MIT Mexican-American alumni and friends to network, foster new friendships, and provide a venue to promote STEAM and other careers by sharing their own experiences and path to MIT. Avanza endeavors to reinforce the need for a college education, expand the image of STEAM professions as a viable option, and demonstrate the value of talent and diversity arising from Mexican-American, other U.S. Latinx, and underserved populations.
