We are very excited to share that Vera Foley joins the Teaching and Learning Excellence Department as our Instructional Design Associate.

She teaches Folk & Fairy Tales for the Liberal Arts department and is excited to collaborate with the Library to introduce her students to MCAD’s fairy-tale art holdings this semester.
