Multi-Ethnic Student Association (MESA)
MESA is a group of students of diverse ethnic and racial backgrounds
who are interested in encouraging the F&ES administration, faculty and
students to better address issues of cultural diversity. In addition,
MESA exists as an avenue for discussion and support for students of
color. MESA also represents F&ES through relationships with other
multi-cultural student groups on the Yale campus and collaborates
closely with the Admissions and Dean’s Offices at F&ES. Overall, MESA
intends to create a welcoming space and a supportive environment for
students of diverse ethnic backgrounds to discuss concerns and
experience; however, students of all backgrounds are encouraged to
participate. MESA hopes to encourage increased ethnic diversity among
our teaching faculty and visiting speakers, and the student body. In
addition, MESA facilitates campus events with a focus of diversity.
Examples of sponsored events include hosting speakers, screening
films, organizing a Regional TGIF, and orchestrating informal
gatherings between faculty and students.
