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.

Today, Thursday, March 18, San Diego Mesa College will host the Inaugural Dr. Constance M. Carroll Humanities Institute Lecture Series, featuring Dr. Carroll. The Series will occur bi-annually, and will feature lectures on various Humanities topics by noted scholars. The inaugural lecture features Dr. Carroll who will be lecturing on Aeschylus’ Oresteia and Athenian Politics.
“We wanted to honor Dr. Carroll's vision and commitment to the Humanities, both as our past president and as our Chancellor, which included featuring her as our Inaugural series speaker,” stated Dr. Pamela Luster, President of Mesa College.
Dr. Carroll’s lecture will explore the complex role of tragedy as a unique art form in ancient Greece, especially in the great city-state and later empire of Athens. In addition to its great poetic and literary impact, tragedy also was associated with contemporary politics, sometimes mirroring the contexts and tensions of the military, judicial, and civic issues of the day. Nowhere was the nexus between tragedy and politics clearer than in the plays of the great tragedian, Aeschylus. His most complete work, The Oresteia, which is the subject of the lecture, demonstrates this close relationship in a compelling manner.
