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.

San Diego – For the past month, 72 Fifty, the Mesa College on-campus restaurant, began offering their specialty Fall Dinner Series. It’s that time of year. Yes, that’s right. Aged Beef and Seafood boards are back but limited! The beef is ready.
On March 20th, the Fashion Department’s assistant professor Jordyn Smiley, and her class took the initiative of making reusable bags for Mesa students to utilize during the Farmers Market.
