For over a decade, the MESA statewide grant has been supporting Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) as one of thirteen university academic support programs in public and private California Universities. The goal of MESA at SSU is to increase the number of historically underrepresented students who pursue and persist in Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) related degrees and ultimately, careers. Throughout their studies, the MESA students in the program receive academic support, strong community building, educational enrichment opportunities, and personal advising to advance their goals and success. The award in partnership with the University Office of the President, helps our program thrive with tutoring, supplies, mentoring and weekly meetings.
