About Washington MESA (WA MESA) and WVC MESA

Washington MESA believes there are many benefits of a diverse and inclusive workplace. Therefore, our programs are targeted to increase representation of women, African Americans, Latino/Hispanics, Native Americans, and Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islanders in STEM fields.

The WA MESA Transfer Prep program works with youth in their first two years of community college and focuses on supporting them with their transition into a post-secondary STEM program career. 

WVC MESA is a relational, student-centered program that offers academic and non-academic support to students in STEM who intend to transfer from Wenatchee Valley College to a 4-year degree program. 

Washington MESA Mission

We empower underrepresented students by providing them a community that supports their pathways to higher education in STEM through mentorships, academic programs, and interactive workshops. 

Washington MESA Vision

Diverse student populations in Washington State have the educational support and tools to create innovative solutions as they become the next leaders in STEM.
