Mission and Vision Statements
Summer 2009 High School STEM Internships
New MESA Center
SSU aims to recruit, retain, and graduate more students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) to meet the science and technology challenges faced by California and the nation. The School of Science and Technology at SSU has recently established a MESA Engineering Program (MEP) to enrich the learning environment for educationally disadvantaged students so that upon graduation these students can help fill STEM-related professions. SSU MEP completes the MESA pathway for students in the northern California region that are part of the established and growing MESA Schools Programs (MSPs) and MESA Community College Programs (MCCPs) in the region.
Health Professions Advisory Program
The Health Professions Advisory Program at Sonoma State University is an advising and support system for students preparing for careers in various health professions including medicine, dentistry, optometry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine. The advising is provided by a team of experienced faculty members.
Alliance for Minority Participation
The California State University Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation (CSU-LSAMP) Program is a comprehensive statewide project dedicated to increasing the number of students from underrepresented minority groups (URM) graduating from campuses of the California State University with baccalaureate degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
NASA Education and Public Outreach
The NASA Education and Public Outreach group at Sonoma State University (SSU) was founded in 1999, and is located in the Jean and Charles Schulz Information Center on the SSU campus. The group is affiliated with the Department of Physics and Astronomy, which is part of the School of Science and Technology.
