Hello MESA/STEM Students ~ Fall 2025!

 

We hope you had a great summer and are off to a great start with your semester.  We look forward to seeing you all in our MESA/STEM Academic Success Center in building M500.   In order to best serve you, we wanted to remind you of a few important items of business as you journey along your fall 2025 term.  If you have not had a chance to utilize the MESA/STEM website regularly, please get in the habit of checking it at least every two weeks for news and important information.  Please visit our website at https://www.hancockcollege.edu/mesa/index.php.

 

  • The MESA/STEM Academic Success Center is open Monday through Thursday 9AM – 7PM; and Friday 9AM – 4PM.  When arriving in the center, please make sure you sign in on the kiosk to the left as you enter the building. 
  • We are offering drop-in Tutoring, Review Sessions, and Organized Study Groups to help you succeed and earn higher grades in your STEM courses. The drop-in Tutoring is offered both in-person in Building M-500 as well as remotely over Zoom. The Zoom link and schedule for our tutoring services is available at https://www.hancockcollege.edu/mesa/aew-tutoring-schedules.php.
  • All continuing MESA students were mailed a letter from Christine Reed in late June 2025.   This is a very important letter and is mailed out annually.  It contains your personal MESA “To-Do List.”  It is your responsibility as a MESA student to take care of your “To-Do List.” All students have items that require action with deadline dates. If you have misplaced it, we have a copy in your file – just ask Dorine for a copy.
  • If you haven’t met with Christine or Angelica (MESA/STEM Counselors) recently, please make an appointment to do so.  It is important that every MESA student meet with one of them sometime between August and December to verify you are on track academically.  To schedule an appointment please visit our website.
  • The MESA/STEM Workshops & Activities schedule for the current term is posted and updated regularly on our website. It is required that all MESA students attend at least three activities/workshops within the term. I think you will find the workshops to be a valuable use of your time. Please view our 'Calendar of Services and Events' on our website.
  • If you are planning to transfer to university fall 2026, please check your email regularly for updates and deadline notifications from the MESA/STEM programs and the universities.  Make sure to stay connected to the MESA/STEM program as you prepare to transition to the next level (exciting!).  MESA/STEM and the University Transfer Center will be holding a variety of workshops throughout the term regarding UC/CSU applications, Personal Insight Question Development, and financial aid/scholarships to help facilitate your transfer.  The deadline to apply to university is November 30, 2025, but we encourage all our students to file their application before Thanksgiving break. 
  • We encourage all MESA students to get involved in clubs on campus.  Please visit the list of clubs on campus at AHC Clubs.  MESA/STEM affiliated clubs include the Robotics club, the Science and Engineering club, the Women in Engineering and AC club, and the Computer Science club. Get Involved! Contact information on these clubs and more is available at the website.
  • Fall term is an important time to explore summer 2026 internships and 2026/2027 scholarships.  Make sure to visit our website and see the scholarship tool kit and the internship tool kit.  Don’t miss out!

 

We look forward to hearing from you all in MESA/STEM.  If there is anything we can do to help you have a great semester, please feel free to let us know. Take Care and Happy Fall 2025!

 

Christine, Dorine, Bryce, and Angelica
