The Associated Students (AS) logo is everywhere, and AS hosts plenty of events each year for our students, but who are they really, and what do they do for our campus?

Associated Students at San Diego Mesa College held their AS Carnival on Thursday, April 20 between the Mesa Commons and Exercise Science buildings.

San Diego Mesa College’s Associated Students held a Thanksgiving Feast on Nov. 22 as a way to provide a festive meal to 85 students on campus who may not otherwise have been able to celebrate the holiday.

Students enjoyed a variety of traditional Thanksgiving foods, had chances to win opportunity drawings for gift cards and bonded as a campus community at the feast.

San Diego Mesa College’s third annual Thanksgiving Feast – organized by the Mesa College H.O.S.T. program and the Associated Students – will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 22 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in room MC 211 A/B.

Victoria Miller, Dean of Student Affairs, said that the faculty, staff and administrators at Mesa always want “students to feel valued and appreciated,” and that the Thanksgiving Feast is just one way that they help to accomplish this goal throughout the year.

Three days of fun activities will take place as part of the International Education Week at San Diego Mesa College on Nov. 15-17.

“International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide,” said Spanish Professor Dora Schoenbrun-Fernandez. “This is also a prime opportunity for the International Education Committee at Mesa College to showcase the college’s and the Humanities Institute’s ‘global awareness’ learning outcome.”
