Congrats to our MESA grads! 🚀✨🎓

🧡We love celebrating your success and know you’ll go far as you as you transfer to universities including UCLA, USC, UC Irvine, Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, CSUCI, UC Davis, and more.

Before graduation MESA hosted a Transfer Banquet and Awards Celebration honoring the hard work and achievements of 25 students pursuing degrees in calculus-based STEM fields.

🎥🎬A highlight was the premiere of an original documentary film directed and edited by Justin Arbaiza, Ventura College Physics and Engineering Tutor. The film captured the stories, experiences, and resilience of MESA students.

🏆The evening also included the presentation of awards recognizing leadership, service, and dedication to student success. Erick Meza received the 2026 M.E.S.A. Outstanding Student Leader Award in recognition of his exceptional leadership, dedication, and positive impact within the M.E.S.A. community.
