Barstow Community College continues to champion student success in STEM fields through its Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) program. In this interview, Donna Troy Wangler, MESA Program Director, joins John "The Van Guy" on The Highway Stations to discuss the opportunities for students pursuing calculus-based degrees.
Designed to support educationally disadvantaged and first-generation college students, MESA provides a "home base" for scholars in fields like biology, chemistry, and engineering. Donna explains the free benefits available to members, including dedicated tutoring, academic counseling, textbook loans, and access to graphing calculators.
Listen in as they discuss the eligibility requirements, the application process, and how the program fosters a community of like-minded peers. Whether you are just starting your STEM journey or preparing to transfer to a four-year university, the MESA program offers the tools and guidance necessary to succeed.
