Enhancing Access:

SLEPITZA CENTER FOR STUDENT EXCELLENCE

Because access is more than having opportunities to be accepted to college; it’s also about belonging and having the right resources to succeed. The Slepitza Center for Student Excellence (CSE) is a holistic approach to enhance your academic and personal growth here at Avila.

Your deserve to be successful

Transitioning in to college is hard. A lot of demands are placed upon you while you also navigate adulthood. Your success is the driving mission behind the Slepitza Center for Student Excellence and our services are open to all students. We are here to guide you through the transitions, the tough times, the hard decisions, and the fun times too! Here is where you will find advice, kind words, a pat on the back. We won’t always tell you what you want to hear but you can be assured we always have your best interest at heart.
