Avanti Orientation Team
The name "Avanti" comes from the Italian word for forward, or ahead, as in to go forward. The Avanti Team is a distinguished student service organization founded in 1975 to assist new University of Alabama students in "moving ahead" with higher education aspirations.
By becoming well acquainted with Capstone academic programs and co-curricular opportunities, the Avanti Team provides essential support in preparing incoming students to meet the challenges of enrollment and in welcoming high school groups to campus for large-scale recruitment events.
The Avanti Team functions directly under the auspices of the Office of Orientation and Special Programs in the Division of Academic Affairs.
