Job Shadow
Help a junior or senior explore their career of interest. If you are working or doing research in a field related to math, science or engineering – such as health, medicine, technology, multimedia, transportation or civil engineering – our students would appreciate the opportunity to spend a day or an afternoon with you. Students in MESA are primarily African-American, Latino, Native American and females. We are looking for professionals who represent the diversity in our students to encourage them to succeed in an increasingly multicultural workplace.
