HP-MESA

MESA (Mathematics, Engineering and Science Achievemnt) provides math, engineering and science academic development to minority community college students in order to help them excel academically and transfer to four-year institutions as science, engineering and math majors. The services offered by MESA include:

• Academic Excellence Workshops - Students are scheduled in the same core math and science classes and taught how to successfully master complex technical ideas and principles through a collaborative approach.
• Assistance in the transfer process - MESA provides academic counseling, visits to four-year institutions and workshops to assist students to transfer.
• Career advising - Students are exposed to different math, engineering and science career options through contacts with industry mentors, field trips, job shadowing, career fairs and internship opportunities.
• Links with student and professional organizations - These resources provide mentors, guest speakers and industry field trips.
• Student Study Center - Located in AC335, this multipurpose center is the hub for study and special activities.
• Professional development - Through workshops and mock job fairs, students learn about corporate culture, improve their resume writing and interviewing skills and are offered opportunities for part-time, full-time and summer employment in industry.
