Our AVID Sophomores and Juniors had the exciting opportunity to visit the University of Arizona (U of A), where they toured the Thrive Center and the Guerrero Student Center. During their visit, they learned about the various resources and opportunities available to students. They also had the chance to explore several lecture halls and take a campus tour, which included stops at key locations such as the library.
