Often, biology classes are bound to a lab, but at San Diego Mesa College, students get a chance to see what it’s like out in the field. In 2022, Mesa College received a grant from the National Science Foundation to fund programs that work to engage students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Since then, professors Dean Leavitt and Daniela Bruckman have led annual weekend-long field excursions out into the wilds of the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park to teach students about desert natural history and help them develop skills in ecological field methods.
