Shared vision of the possible • If it makes faculty/staff feel engaged and energized, it will do the same for tutors • If tutors see themselves as educators and professionals, they will improve themselves AND deliver better services to students • Tutors our future colleagues and bosses!

Mesa top for transferring grads College recognized for helping students advance Gary Warth |June 2, 2016
Student Testimonial: Manuel Gonzalez “Before my first semester at Mesa I switched my major to psychology. My EOP counselor suggested that I choose the ADT pathway…I decided to pick the ADT path because I would only have needed a couple of courses to get an Associate Degree. I was not a local in San Diego which made getting an ADT the best option for me when considering which university to apply to .”
Student Testimonial: Megan Boquet “…As a newly single mother, I felt that I needed to further my education in order to be successful in life… Mesa's ADT program very clearly outlined what I would need in order to complete the academic requirements …It allowed me to be competitive as a transfer student whose prior education was from an out of state school…I think that for students who are overwhelmed by the transfer process, the ADT makes it an easy to follow guide to educational success.”
