Slide2The workforce crisis
In California:
An estimated 3 million college-educated workers will retire between 2005 and 2025.The state recently awarded 40% fewer degrees in science and engineering than the national average.
Over 75% of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) job openings through 2016 will require postsecondary education. 50% of these
STEM jobs will require bachelor’s degrees.
Slide3Science and math education:
A grave challenge
California ranks 45th among all states in students
taking advanced math & science courses48th for eighth grade proficiency in math
Last for fourth grade science proficiency (tied with Mississippi, Arizona and Hawaii)
Slide4Why California needs MESA:
MESA works!
Percentage of MESA vs. all California public high school grads who went to college immediately after graduation
Stats for 11-12
53%
of MESA pre-college students go to a four-year institutions as science, technology, engineering or math (STEM) majors.

Slide8Why California needs MESA:
MESA works!
California MESA has been replicated in 14 states.
Nearly 100 companies work with MESA because of its outstanding track record.
Slide9“After 40 years, MESA remains a model on how to ‘get it right’ for students in the fields of mathematics, engineering and science.“
Tom Torlakson
State Superintendent of Public Instruction
“MESA consistently provides us with outstanding workforce candidates.”Joseph Rivera, Director, Gas Engineering
Southern California Gas Company , retired“We support MESA’s ability to ensure the success of students from underserved communities as they pursue paths in STEM.”

Slide10Mission Statement
MESA enables educationally disadvantaged students to prepare for and graduate from a four-year college or university with a math-based degree in areas such as engineering, the sciences, computer science, and mathematics.
Through MESA, students develop academic and leadership skills, increase educational performance, and gain confidence in their ability to compete professionally. MESA has particular interest in and focus on students from those groups who historically have had the lowest levels of attainment to four-year and graduate level programs.
Slide11Vision Statement
To support the national science and mathematics educational agenda by ensuring that all MESA students are mathematically and scientifically literate so that they can play a leadership role in an increasingly technological world.
