- Purpose
- Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx por Activismo (MEChA) is a student organization that promotes higher education, cultura, y historia. The goal of M.E.C.h.A. is create a consciousness, one in which to incorporate the political, the cultural, and the educational aspects of our community to those of the University. M.E.C.h.A. is a political voice for UCSD. It takes part in a series of political events through out the year, such as Raza Awareness Week. M.E.C.h.A. also honors many cultural holidays such as El Dia De Los Muertos and Las Posadas that occur in December; creating an atmosphere for social interaction. M.E.C.h.A. also strives in bridging the gap between High School and College by working directly with the youth of our community. This is accomplished through our annual Raza Youth Empowerment Conference, weekly outreach events, campus tours, overnight programs, and one on one mentoring. In realizing the importance of giving back to the community, we recognize that we are at UCSD to be successful students. We strive to build a community that is strong and united. The year is finalized with our Raza Graduation. Most importantly, throughout the year we build a strong network of people who are currently aware students, activists, and friends.
