  • San Diego City College MESA Program Engage, Educate, Empower
    San Diego City College MESA Program Engage, Educate, Empower The City College MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement) Program is the best academic support and transfer program for students in Math, Engineering and Science majors. The secret is "culture"! The MESA program has a culture of success, with a language of success. More than a program or community, MESA is family, with shared beliefs, practices, and behaviors designed for student success - and the students are the best part of the MESA family! MESA students are Creators - master fighters! They take responsibility for their learning and achieve success. DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A MESA CREATOR? The MESA Program has high expectations for MESA students. MESA does not question a student's potential. All students have great potential. Instead, MESA has two questions for any student wishing to be a part of the MESA culture: 1. How committed are YOU to achieving YOUR goals? 2. How strong is YOUR "foundation for learning"? COMMITMENT - VICTIM OR CREATOR? When faced with a choice, do YOU choose the role of Victim or Creator? Victims typically blame, complain and make excuses. Creators take responsibility, commit to their goals and seek solutions. Victims are NOT accepted into the MESA Program. MESA students are Creators! MESA MODEL: The City College MESA model consists of three key elements: 1. Foundation for Learning 2. Activities for Academic, Professional and Personal Development 3. MESA Program “Capstone” The MESA “Capstone” identifies the purpose for the learning: it guides all MESA Creators on their journey in life. The Capstone has four qualities that all MESA Creators aspire to achieve: Skills, Knowledge, Wisdom and FREEDOM! With FREEDOM as the ultimate goal, nothing can stop MESA Creators from being successful.
