Dear MCAD Community,
With the recent, unsettling news about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) presence and actions at Augsburg University, we want to make sure you understand your rights and roles if something similar were to occur at MCAD.
This week's spotlight includes: The Corning Museum of Glass, Treasure Island Resort & Casino, COOL STORY, and City of Eagan…
Organization Name: The Corning Museum of Glass
Wage/Salary: $2,600/mo
This exhibition was inspired by the Fall of Freedom, an artist-initiated protest happening throughout the United States on November 21–22, 2025. Art and culture help shape our understanding of the world around us, and the arts community has chosen to respond to threats against free expression across the country through acts of creative resistance: exhibitions, performances, and public events that channel the urgency of this moment.
All:
With this week being the last week of classes, as you are wrapping up the semester, those of us in Campus Safety know it is a busy time all around. So, if you find yourself needing a quick break, feel free to stop by the Welcome Desk any time this week as supplies last and enjoy some Hot Chocolate, Apple Cider, and/or a cookie.
Have a wonderful wrap-up to your Semester!
Pam and Staff

Utilizing the Grey or Black studios with a different lighting setup for each image, students made Joiner portraits of a person, object, or “thing itself”.
They considered the frame – What part of the subject are the focus on in each frame of the photograph? How will they come together?
They considered time – How will the passage of time be shown in the overall image, how can the final assembly / composition enhance elements to the foreground of the composition?

Remember Club Fair? What are all those clubs up to? SO many cool things. This week we want to highlight the Junior Scientologists Club: A club for people who want to see movies on the big screen, as the film gods intended. Non-members are welcome to come to any movies that sound like a good time! (Not affiliated with the Church of Scientology). This week’s film screening is one of the all time greats, it's Face/Off!!!! Come check it out!
