Social Justice and Education Conference The focus of the Social Justice and Education Conference is to highlight the importance of education in the creation of a just and equal society. The conference draws more than 500 participants and is open to all those interested in social justice in education with a special emphasis on faculty, classified professionals, administrators, and students. Conference organizer and City College English professor Paul Alexander explained, “At its core, social justice is the foundation of education. An education that ignores social realities and teaches a curriculum detached from an individual’s ability to contribute to a more just and equitable world is a disservice to its participants. Instead of creating a healthy community with true civic engagement, it builds a society of uncritical workers devoid of true meaning and purpose.” SDCCD Black Graduates and Transfer Students Rite of Passage Ceremony SDCCD Black Graduates and Transfer Students Rite of Passage Ceremony is a districtwide celebration honoring academic excellence, determination and the sacrifices which have led to the success of our students. The district’s three colleges, City, Mesa and Miramar, rotate hosting this very cultural and spiritual event.

Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) sdcity.edu/mesa | 619.388.3156 | T-393 Contact: Rafael Alvarez, MESA Director, 619.388.3156 | [email protected] The City College Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program is the best academic support program for students in math, engineering, and science transfer-track majors. The secret is culture. All new MESA students are first trained in the learning culture and language of success that exists in higher education. Think of the learning culture as the “rules of the game” for succeeding at City College.
Potential Gaps Student potential is not questioned in the learning culture. All students have great potential— YOU Learning have great potential: You have many strengths, Culture but you also have gaps. The challenge for all Strengths MESA students is to learn the learning culture, and use it to fill their gaps.
Commitment Student commitment is questioned in the learning culture, and only creators are accepted into the MESA program. Creators accept responsibility, take action, and seek solutions. Victims are NOT accepted because this is a choice that students make, and victims cannot truly be committed. Victims typically blame, complain, and make excuses. The MESA program has high expectations for students: are YOU a victim or a creator? Foundation for Learning To build a house, you must begin with a strong foundation. The same is true for learning; student success begins with a strong foundation for learning. How strong is your foundation for learning?
Freedom Purpose for the learning—the goal for all students in a learning culture is to achieve freedom, which gives students the ability to define themselves, rather than to be defined by others. Freedom gives students the ability to live a life they choose—a life that is fulfilling to them.
Secret to Success If you want to succeed in anything, then you must want it as much as you want to breathe! More than a program, MESA is family. Students can gather at the MESA Center—a home on campus where MESA students get the help and support they need to be successful in college, including: • Tutoring for math, science, and engineering classes • Counseling assistance for creating education plans, applying for transfer, exploring graduate school and career opportunities, and identifying other services needed • FREE resources for students (i.e., class textbooks, computers, and calculators) • Scholarship information and help to apply for scholarships • Summer research and internships opportunities across the country • Connections to industry to meet professionals and learn about companies and careers
