Bienvenidos! Welcome to the 2023/2024 academic year!

On behalf of the entire staff of the Center for Chicanx and Latinx Academic Student Success, known informally as El Centro, we are thrilled to see you! It is our hope that you feel at home here to express yourself and to explore our diverse programs and services. 

At El Centro, you will find friendly staff members who provide academic advising, counseling, internship & career services, tutoring, as well as formal and informal opportunities to interact with Davis faculty and staff members invested in your academic success. There are many ways to stay connected, build community, and empower your academic journey through campus resources. 

UC Davis and El Centro understand that our students come from diverse backgrounds and experiences. We hope to provide an inclusive environment reflective of our community and the many students we serve. We encourage you to become a part of El Centro's community where we acknowledge and celebrate each individual's identity and use them as a source for transformational growth! Together we will help you discover the path to make the most of your time at Davis. Whether your plans include research, student leadership, athletic achievement, community service, or building a completely new path, we offer our full support as you navigate your undergraduate journey!
