This year’s Hispanic Heritage Month theme celebrates working together “Todos Juntos” and we are THRILLED to offer our first multi-state, virtual, family STEM Event in partnership with Intel. Join us for a night of fun, connections, and career exploration with prospective MESA students and families. The event is hosted by Oregon MESA and shared with other MESA USA states. Students and families in the states of Oregon, California, New Mexico, and Arizona will be joining in for this groundbreaking event! We will be using Zoom and Gather.Town platforms for this virtual engagement. This event has a maximum capacity of 25 students (with their familes) that can attend from NM MESA. Do not miss out!
IMPORTANT: We have changed our promotional materials to reflect the time zone or New Mexico (MST). If anything is sent for Oregon MESA, verify the time zone listing.
