Mission

At Indiana University Kokomo, students may obtain their grades 5-12 licensure in one of four content areas: Mathematics, English, Science (Chemisty, Physics, Physical Science, Earth/Space Science, or Life Science), and History (History, Political Science, Sociology, Psychology, or Economics).  It is the goal of meshEd to work together to represent the interests of all four content areas, as well as Education. meshEd plans events, workshops, and coordinates speakers to supplement the Education classes offered by IU Kokomo.
