Second-year student Zora Williams is using her voice to bring more mental health and nutrition programming to San Diego Mesa College. Williams was elected president of the college’s Associated Students (AS) for the 2024-2025 academic year and serves as the college’s student representative on the San Diego Community College District Board of Trustees.
Sometimes, you hear a story that makes you want to know more. Kevin Gonzalez has such a story. The last time this story was updated, San Diego Mesa College student Kevin Gonzalez was a 15 year-old heading off to Massachusetts to complete his high school education. In the ensuing years, he has travelled to the other side of the world, built houses, but remained in close contact with his Mesa College professors and connections he made while on campus.
The San Diego Community College District has appointed four new student trustees for the upcoming academic year. Dalia Ramirez (San Diego City College), Zora Williams (San Diego Mesa College), Hailey Hua (San Diego Miramar College), and Haydee Zuniga (San Diego College of Continuing Education), will be sworn in during the June 20 SDCCD Board of Trustees meeting.

Students looking to attend San Diego Mesa College can get early access to the campus and learn about the school’s programs and amenities during the annual Jumpstart on Feb. 25 from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“It is such a great opportunity for students who are interested in Mesa because when they come to our campus they get a feel of what our community has to offer through academic support and student services support,” said Victoria Miller, Dean of Student Affairs. “There’s also the encouragement that we’re here as a community to really help provide opportunities for academic success during their journey here at Mesa.”
During the day’s festivities, students will “get a feel for a day in the life of a Mesa student” through workshops that highlight the campus’ academic and student support resources, according to Miller.
Some of those workshops will provide information about financial aid and the school’s prestigious Honors Program. There will also be tables set up where students will be able to interact with current Peer Navigators, Student Ambassadors and the Associated Students, and students from the dance department will be performing.
One of the highlights of Jumpstart is that students will have their names entered in the opportunity drawing to win one of four $250 scholarships to be applied toward enrollment fees during their first semester at Mesa College. Recipients have to be graduating high school seniors or transferring Continuing Education students to enter, and be present during the drawing of names to win.
Last year, more than 300 prospective students attended Jumpstart, during which there were demonstrations of robotics and a volcano from the science department. Those planning to attend this year’s event are encouraged to register for free online.
