TAKING ACTION TO ERADICATE ANTI-BLACK RACISM George Floyd. Ahmaud Arbery. Breonna Taylor. Three more Black lives that have been taken because of racism and police brutality. It is yet another unnecessary reminder of the urgent need to dismantle racism in all forms throughout every system (education, criminal justice, health care, etc.) within our country. MESA is here because of racism within education and the STEM workforce. We will continue to support and stand with our Black students and hold institutions accountable for dismantling racism. MESA participated in the #SHUTDOWNSTEM day on June 10th and other trainings, webinars, etc. to reflect and take action to eradicate anti-Black racism in STEM at Edmonds College. MESA is developing an action plan to eradicate anti-Black racism at Edmonds College. This is just the start of an awakening that has been needed for decades. We will be improving and adding services to best support and empower students as new and more needs are arising. We look forward to continue collaborating with students, faculty, staff, partners, and community to make these changes. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact the MESA Director. #BlackLivesMatter IN THIS EDITION Who We Serve: MESA Students Where Do MESA Students Transfer Virtual MESA Student Center Transfer Student Spotlight Women's Empowerment Movement Looking Ahead: Edmonds Student Government MESA Event Highlights Branding Updates Recent Supreme Court Rulings Services and Activities Fees Funding WHO WE SERVE: MESA STUDENTS During Spring Quarter 2020, MESA served 45 enrolled students.

With potential design funding for Shoreline Community College’s STE(A)M Education Center, the college is wise to jumpstart the pre-design process for this long- planned facility. The STE(A)M Education Center off ers the potential for effi ciencies and synergies between the disparate fi elds of Nursing, Math, Music, and Music Technology, and sets the stage for new successes both planned and unknown. The team you select for the pre-design will play an instrumental role setting up this project for success. SSW Architects has deep knowledge of STEM and STE(A)M-focused academic facilities. For over 33 years we have provided a full range of A/E services for clients throughout the state, with eighty percent of our work focused on higher education. Our body of work includes a number of fi rsts, including the fi rst LEED-certifi ed facility in the SBCTC system (the Corporate Education Center at Lake Washington Institute of Technology) and the fi rst LEED Platinum higher education facility in the state (Angst Hall at Skagit Valley College).

  • Guide to College Admissions 2017—2018
    Edmonds School District Guide to College Admissions 2017—2018 Presented by the Counseling Departments of: Meadowdale High School Edmonds-Woodway High School Lynnwood High School Mountlake Terrace High School Scriber Lake High School Edmonds Heights K-12 Edmonds eLearning To our Students and Parents: This booklet is meant to help you in the important process of deciding your post – secondary educational planning and exploration. What we present here will help you to begin the clarification process for choosing a college or university. Please take the time to talk as a family and to use the items listed here as tools for good conversation, not something that hinders discussion. We ask students and parents to realize that there is more than one “perfect school,” in fact there are many. A school should be one that will bring both happiness and a meaningful education to your student. Focus on finding the right school – one that will help you find the “intersection of your heart and your abilities.” By doing so, you will find a good match to meet your educational goals as well as experience tremendous personal growth. What is most important is the experience and opportunities available to you as a student as well as your openness to accepting them once you are on campus. Be open to explore the infinite possibilities in both selecting a college as well as areas of study. The name of a college will never replace the success that comes from hard work, seizing opportunities and enjoyment of your college years. These are the things that matter.
