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, San Diego Mesa College hosted a start-of-construction event for the future of Fine Arts Building. The event was attended by nearly100 administrators, staff, students, faculty, construction partners and others. Guests were invited to sign or draw a picture on one of two large canvases to symbolize their connection to the new facility. Once the building is open, the mementos will be put on short-term display in the building.
The new Fine-Arts building is being constructed within an existing building on campus, the former I-300 Building. It will be four-stories with 26,500 assignable square feet, and will be a highly visible and thriving hub for Fine Arts students. The new building will provide modernized facilities and equipment for programs in drawing, painting, photography, sculpting and ceramics, and a new space for the highly-acclaimed Mesa Art Gallery.
The $1.555 billion Propositions S and N construction bond program provides new state-of-the-art instructional and career training facilities, major renovations, and campus wide infrastructure projects at City, Mesa and Miramar colleges and six Continuing Education campuses throughout San Diego.
The project is designed to obtain a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification from the US Green Building Council. This building will have features like light colored roofing material with high reflective values that are used to reduce heat loads within the building and CO2 sensors and outdoor airflow monitors that will ensure proper outdoor air circulation for building occupants.
