Growing Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM) talent Washington MESA--Mathematics Engineering Science Achievement--helps under-represented community college students excel in school and ultimately earn STEM bachelor's degrees. MESA has two key programs: one for K-12 students, and the other for community and technical college students. The K-12 progam helps students at middle and high schools (and some elementary schools) succeed in math and science and become competitively eligible for college. The community college program takes it one step further by helping students move ahead and ultimately earn a STEM bachelor's degree. This brief report discusses what the community college program offers, legislative requests for more MESA, proven results, and national recognition of MESA.
