Industry Advisory Board
SDSU MESA is a part of the San Diego MESA Alliance (SDMA). The San Diego MESA Alliance (SDMA), established in 2000, is a statewide model for intersegmental regional collaboration in mathematics, engineering and science education for MESA student populations.
The Alliance mission is to have a collaborative effort in enhancing the pipeline of MESA programs in San Diego County. The Alliance goals are to establish best practices, strategic partnerships, effective coordination of services and development of core curriculum for MESA programs.
The SDMA additionally consists of 2 college prep programs (which in turn serves numerous K-12 schools), and 7 local community college MESA programs.
The SDMA relies on the support of industry partners on the MESA Industry Advisory Board (IAB) to provide industry exposure and professional development opportunities for MESA students. Industry partners contribute to the development of a pipeline of future engineers and scientists.
Learn more about collaborating with MESA and help the SDMA develop tomorrow’s leaders.
Meetings are generally held from 1:00 – 3:00 PM on the second Wednesday of alternating months (February, April, June, October, December), held at the company of the IAB chair (or via video conferencing). The August meeting is traditionally held at our SDSU campus. All are welcome!
