ANNOUNCEMENTS
REMINDER: MAEA Conference at MICA this Friday - Plan Accordingly
You will see a lot of unfamiliar faces throughout campus buildings, including Lazarus Center, Brown Center, Fox Building, and Bunting Center. We welcome the MAEA conference attendees as our guests, but please be reminded: don't prop open doors to secured spaces during the conference or at any time. If the doors are propped open, the space is no longer secure. Protect your belongings and those of your classmates by keeping locked doors closed when not in use. If you have questions about what spaces will be used, email graduatestudies@mica.edu.
Its a good idea to give yourself extra time to get around campus during the conference. This event should not impact MICA campus parking lots but could potentially impact street parking.
Please Visit MICA undergraduate exhibition in the Lazarus Center Riggs and Leidy Galleries!

The POWER Speaker Series addresses the concept and reality of "power,” that which impacts us all — all over the world. This 20-week investigation provides a uniquely civil, yet aggressive investigation addressing a myriad of power-related topics, issues and perspectives.
