San Diego, CA – PBS&J recently presented a check for $5,000 to San Diego State University’s Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (SDSU MESA) Engineering program to benefit the Leadership Summit 2011. The Leadership Summit is an annual weekend camping event with an agenda of seminars, workshops, and group projects designed to develop the leadership, communication, and presentation skills of engineering/physical science students.
Having just celebrated its 40th anniversary, MESA is nationally recognized for its innovative and effective academic development program. MESA engages thousands of educationally disadvantaged students from middle school through a four-year college program. MESA provides support through classes, hands-on competitions, counseling, and transfer support to help students excel in math and science and graduate with math-based degrees. MESA partners with industry and all major education institutions in California.
The grant, sponsored by The PBSJ Corporation and funded by The PBSJ Foundation, was presented by Cynthia Peraza, Project Manager in San Diego.
