Guided Pathways is a new initiative to provide clear pathways and integrated support for all students at De Anza College, so they can successfully achieve their educational goals. The initiative includes the creation of De Anza's new Villages, and we are planning more programs to come. We want to include diverse student voices in all of our efforts.

  • The Guided Pathways Student Focus Team is a group of faculty and staff members who are working to advance equity on campus by gathering diverse student perspectives to inform our Guided Pathways efforts.   
  • Under the team’s supervision, student consultants in the Student Working Advisory Group (SWAG) will contribute to shaping De Anza’s future by providing feedback and insights based on their own lived experiences.
