A long-standing pillar within the MCAD community, she worked at the college from 1979 to 2010 starting as a Visiting Artist, instructor and rising through the ranks to Professor. Fischer served as Chair of the Fine Arts Division, and as Director of MCAD’s MFA and Post-Baccalaureate Programs.

Effective December 2025, MCAD will no longer hold a commencement ceremony in December for students who complete their coursework in the previous summer or fall. Instead, we will celebrate all undergraduate and MFA students together during the May ceremony and all MA students in a ceremony in August. Undergraduate full-time and visiting faculty will continue to be required to attend the May ceremony.

Undergraduate students who complete their degree in the summer or fall semester will continue to have a senior show in December and will be invited to walk in the May ceremony.

The MCAD Kart Club has made a survey to determine if there is a need for a food pantry at MCAD. The purpose of the food pantry would be to address any hunger and food insecurity that may exist among the campus population. Your participation is very important – the results of this survey will help determine our plan going forward. This survey is completely voluntary and anonymous and should only take a couple minutes to complete.
