AVC is known as a “Hispanic-serving institution,” meaning that at least 25 percent of students that attend AVC are Hispanic.
AVC officials have been reaching out to local high schools to encourage students to attend college and also train the faculty to promote college and certain majors as well.
As of Aug. 25, there has been a reported 24 percent increase of Hispanic students attending college. Numbers have jumped up to a remarkable 12.2 million students between the ages of 18 to 24.
Students Connecting is a multilingual online community that provides tutoring services to students. It is dedicated to “closing the gap” between foreign and native-born students that want to attend college.
With the latest tutoring cuts, current tutors and aspiring tutors at AVC are able to join Students Connecting to help Hispanic students in college and students that are trying to get their GED.To become a member visit studentsconnecting.com or call 1-888-745-8360.
