We are located on the first floor of the Learning Resource Center (LRC-115). Our services are provided free to all Mesa College students; just remember to bring your student ID card!

If you are a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) major or taking a course in a STEM discipline you are strongly encouraged to visit the STEM Center. We are a space where STEM students  engage with one-another for tutoring, mentoring, studying, workshops, researching, and much more!

The STEM Center is funded by the HSI (Hispanic Serving Institution) Title III STEM Conexiones Grant (GAN# P031C160227) and Title III STEM E3 Grant (GAN# P031C210022) which seeks to increase the retention rate of Hispanic and low-income students in STEM disciplines.
