Dear MCAD Community,
I am writing to share a leadership update in the Media Arts Department.
Shannon Benine's last day as Chair of Media Arts was June 30, 2026. Please join me in thanking her for her leadership and service to the department. Shannon will remain on faculty as a Professor in the Media Arts department.
