About us!

MESA, Music Education Student Association, was founded in 2022 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Our goal is to serve our community by promoting our passion for music, music education, and service to our members by providing professional and social opportunities for future music educators!​ We serve as the local ILCMEA Student Chapter (Illinois Collegiate Music Education Association) as well as a NAfME Collegiate chapter of NAfME (National Association for Music Education).​Before 2022, we served exclusively as a NAfME collegiate chapter.
