Our goal is to increase the number of educationally and economically impacted students transferring to four-year institutions helping them successfully attain math and science-based degrees.

We welcome and encourage faculty participation! Here are some simple ways you can help our students succeed:

• Share your knowledge! Hold an Academic Excellence Workshop (AEW).
• Be a club co-advisor for Club MESA
• Recommend students to join the MESA program
• Hold an office hour at MESA (D-306) - this is a wonderful way to provide our students with informal mentorship.
• Share STEM-related events/opportunities with students
• Join the STEM Faculty Council. Help us to create rich and innovative opportunities for our students!

Please email mesa@smxjjl.com to be a part of our Workshop Series.
