“This is a great event for prospective students and family members as they explore
Mesa College. When they visit us during JumpStart, they will experience all the enriching
opportunities we offer through academic and student support services, such as access
to free tuition, university transfer options and work force development,” Victoria

on hand to provide encouragement and support our students’ in succeeding on their
journey here at Mesa.”
During the festivities, students will “get a feel for a day in the life of a Mesa
College student” through workshops that highlight campus academic and student support
resources, including financial aid and the Honors Program. Students will be able to
interact with Peer Navigators, Student Ambassadors and the Associated Students. Entertainment
