CoronaVirus: Mesa Community "circle of Prevention"
San Diego Mesa College is committed to supporting the health and wellbeing of our community, especially during increased flu activity and the public health situation related to a novel strain of coronavirus. To keep our community as safe as possible, we have created a “Circle of Prevention” in order to provide information and updates to the campus.
Please see the information below with alerts and recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Please note that this information is time specific, and may change as local
and national healthcare agencies provide updates.

ACHA Survey Results
Mesa Student Health Services partnered with the American College Health Association
to provide a valid and reliable student survey in 2018-2019. Over 500 Mesa students
were surveyed. The results are provided in 2 ways:
Executive Summary
Raw Data
The focus of the survey is physical and mental health. The survey results provide
a clear picture about what our students believe about their health, their activities,
mental health status and much more. It is important to know what issues, problems
and concerns face our students because this gives a more comprehensive picture of
who our students are in an “unseen” manner.
