On December 13, 2018, Mesa College Associated Students (AS) hosted their first Holiday Celebration in collaboration with CalWORKs and EOPS/CARE. The celebration served as a stress reliever for the CalWORKs students, who are also single parents, and provided them with a space to celebrate the holidays with their children. There were arts and crafts tables for the families to enjoy, gingerbread cookies to construct gingerbread houses, games, and a learning station that contained information on three major holiday celebrations; Kwanzaa, Hanukkah and Christmas.

Associated Students (AS) of San Diego Mesa College kicked off the holiday season with the 5th Annual AS Thanksgiving Feast. This event, hosted by students for students, provided the Mesa community with a warm, welcoming environment to break bread together in the true spirit of Thanksgiving. This event started five years ago with a small group of students and has grown to serving over 250 students.

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?
