City College of San Francisco MESA
-
The mission of the MESA (Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement) program at City College of San Francisco is to provide economically disadvantaged students who are majoring in science, technology, engineering or mathematics with the tools to excel academically, and to assist with transferring to four-year institutions in calculus-based majors.
The overarching goal of the MESA program at CCSF is to recruit, retain, and successfully transfer economically and educationally disadvantaged students majoring in calculus-based STEM disciplines. Our approach is a student-centered model, where knowledge and information are personalized and contextualized, and strategies are explored for students to optimize their learning.
Dr. Moore, the director of the program, has the philosophy of "empower yourself to empower others". All scholars that are part of the MESA family at CCSF are individually interviewed and vetted for this philosophy. Two of the primary objectives of the program are to:
-
build a foundation for success through the development of contextualized and personalized pathways into and through STEM,
-
and to provide research-based experiences for students that foster scientific inquiry, critical thinking and presentation skills.
The CCSF MESA program offers the following:
-
Academic Enrichment Workshops: specialized facilitated study groups that provide scholars with opportunities to work on additional problems in their STEM courses,
-
Personal Empowerment Workshops: monthly workshops designed to provide strategies, techniques, and tools to master information, manage one's emotions and create balance while navigating your academic journey,
-
Academic Advising
-
Science-Related Career Advising
-
Access to Summer Research Opportunities
-
Access to STEM Conferences & Field Trips
