MESers proudly posing after a job well done! - 2009 8k for H2O

Thanks to everyone for helping to make the MESSA 8k for H20 a success!!! We had over 300 runners and were able to raise over $3000 for the Coastal Conservation League!

The Master's of Environmental Studies Student Association (MESSA) is a graduate student organization of the College of Charleston. 

The goal of MESSA is to enhance the graduate experience of those in the MES program through community and campus outreach projects that integrate the special interests of students with community needs, and through interaction among students, faculty, and friends of the program. 

All graduate students enrolled in the Master of Environmental Studies program are members of MESSA.  MESSA holds informal meetings every month, which are open to all environmental studies students and faculty, as well as individuals interested in the activities of the program or the organization.
