ANNOUNCEMENTS
REMINDER: MAEA Conference at MICA this Friday - Plan Accordingly
The MAEA Conference will be held on campus this Friday, October 20. This is a ticketed event that is sold out.
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.
