Dear Friends and Supporters, I’m excited to share MCAD’s 2021–2022 Annual Community Report with you. This past year has been one of both reflecting on the past and envisioning a bright future for the college. In planning for the years ahead, we must build upon the institution’s solid foundation, strengthened over more than a century, while also transforming and growing. We must embrace accessibility and practice adaptability to ensure that our students are well-equipped to meet the ever-changing needs of our world. Higher education has faced ground-shifting challenges over the years, but the pandemic accelerated the need for deeper change. As today’s students plan their post-high school education, their priorities are changing. So must MCAD. Affordability, safety, career support, personalized learning, wellness, and social justice are just a few of the important aspects incorporated into the holistic student experience offered at MCAD. Your continued support makes a tremendous difference as we design and build our path forward. With more than 97% of MCAD students receiving some form of financial aid, donor support is crucial in all that we do for them. Almost one quarter of our students are the first in their family to attend college. I am proud and grateful to say that this fall more than 250 students received a donor-funded scholarship with an average award amount of $4,700. Your generosity towards MCAD has a real and direct impact on the lives of our community. Please take a few moments to peruse our Annual Community Report. You will quickly see how all you have helped make students’ goals a reality. We are so grateful for your ongoing care for MCAD. Sanjit Sethi President “With this scholarship, you are supporting the goals of an entrepreneur who is a first-generation college student. I cannot express my gratitude enough for this thoughtful investment in my education. My dream is to create a business that supports myself, my family, and the greater goals of giving back to my community and inspiring positive change. Thank you for making that possible.” –Zamira Mendoza ’23 Our Guiding Principles Vision MCAD emboldens creative leaders to collaboratively transform society through equity, empathy, and imagination.
