This upcoming Sunday, August 30, we will be performing some routine patching and maintenance of our application and service infrastructure.
This will temporarily affect your ability to log in, use some types of software in our labs, and some back end application distribution and management services.
Our Student Counseling and Wellness Center (SCWC) is now home to Therapy Dog, Millie (a very sweet Golden Retriever) who is cared for and trained by Kate Goodman, Director of Student Counseling and Wellness.
Millie loves to have friends stop by for cuddles and treats and will be available during the noon hour Mon-Fri in Kate's office (M06). SCWC will also be welcoming a few Certified Therapy Dog volunteer teams this semester.
Counseling is available to all students for both in-person and remote appointments.
Creating or participating in a club on campus is a great way to build community and make connections. Clubs can be as formal or as casual as you like. They can center around a hobby, a favorite fandom, sports, music, cultural identity, anything that you are excited to celebrate and share. They are fully student run, and Student Affairs is here to help!
Dear MCAD Community,
It is with great sadness that I am sharing the passing of a recent graduate, Grace Niskanen. Grace graduated in May 2026 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Product and Furniture Design. Her creative talents far exceeded her major, which included painting and music. Grace was a creative collaborator, entrepreneur, and close friend to so many.
By now many of you already know that Alicia Kuri Alamillo has left her position as Student Life Specialist. Alicia was in Student Affairs for two years and did tremendous work to support MCAD's international students and students who study off campus. She brought creativity and empathy to everything she did and was deeply committed to making Student Affairs and the MCAD community a better place.
