The Department of Student Diversity and Inclusion is proud to officially recognize MESA as a partner in supporting our Hispanic/Latino Students at Valdosta State University (VSU). MESA stands for Mentoring, Engaging, Supporting, and Achievement. MESA is a group of faculty and staff that have come together to provide activities that mentor, engage, support and promote the academic achievement of Hispanic students through organized collaborative efforts. Our purpose includes:
- Develop activities to promote student engagement amongst themselves, the university and the community at-large.
- Organize group and individual academic assistance programs.
- Inform and provide resources to support Hispanic students personal and economic well-being.
- Increase visibility of contributions Hispanic Students make to the university and community through publications and events.
