Update from the President

Dear MCAD Community,

We look forward to seeing everyone back on campus on February 16, and are eager to be together again as a community. We’re planning to serve coffee and treats for students that first day back; stay tuned for details. 

As we resume in-person campus life, we continue to monitor federal immigration enforcement activity in our community. We understand that many of you have questions and concerns about how this activity may affect our students, faculty, staff, and campus operations.

Important Campus Update, January 24, 8:55 p.m.

Posted at 8:55 p.m.

Dear Students, Staff, and Faculty,

We appreciate your cooperation throughout today as we have been navigating the ever-changing, stressful aftermath of this morning’s fatal shooting near campus.

After reviewing the latest information, we have made the decision to lift MCAD’s shelter-in-place. That said, we encourage you to stay home if possible. 

We will send updates as needed. Thank you for your continued support of your fellow MCAD community members. We are proud of the care that everyone has shown throughout this terrible day.

Sincerely,
Gwen
