MESA (Math, Engineering, Science Achievement) is a statewide program for educationally and economically underrepresented students majoring in calculus- based Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) fields. MESA at DVC is an endowed program that provides academic enrichment in STEM courses to students so they transfer to four-year institutions and have a successful career in a STEM field. The program is a vibrant community of students, faculty and STEM professionals working together to support our STEM students.
My MESA experience has been phenomenal, it’s a wonderful program that helps you reach
your goals and make great connections. Every time I enter the PUMA building I feel
welcomed like in a family and inspired to overcome obstacles and stay motivated. The
counselors are amazing; they've encouraged, helped with resources and with my problems
when I need someone to talk to or advice. To anyone thinking of joining, you will
not regret it.
