Building Belonging PD
This welcome luncheon invites STEM faculty to connect informally with current MESA students over lunch. While faculty often want to build stronger relationships with students, this event offers a relaxed, low-pressure space to simply get to know them as people. Participants will:
Meet and talk with MESA students in an informal setting
, Learn more about the MESA program and its students
, Reflect on their role as connectors in the STEM student journey
,
By the end, participants will identify ways they will support our MESA students throughout the semester.
