Office of the President: Addressing Recent Events

Dear MCAD Community,

Today is an unbearably sad day for Minneapolis, with the horrific mass shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic School that killed two children and wounded 17 others, including 14 children. 

There are simply no words for this kind of community pain. It comes amid a 24-hour cycle of gun violence that, through several events in Minneapolis, has resulted in multiple deaths and serious injuries.
