Our Creative Future campaign raises $10 million
MIAD has exceeded its comprehensive campaign goal of $10 million, closing the campaign thanks to the support of its generous donors.
WE IGNITE CURIOUS MINDS THROUGH ART, DESIGN, AND SERVICE.
Milwaukee is a city of great pride and civic engagement. MIAD is a dynamic and proven training ground for the next generation of innovators and leaders.
We must work to retain native Milwaukeeans, attract new people and perspectives, and make Milwaukee a more equitable and vibrant place to start a career, launch a start-up and invest time and talent. MIAD provides a transformative education preparing students from diverse backgrounds to enter into a career where they can showcase their talent and become leaders in industries that will thrive beyond city limits.
A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
When I moved to Milwaukee seven years ago, my experiences and belief systems inspired me to immediately become involved with, and dedicated to, both the MIAD and Milwaukee communities.
As a first-generation college student, I understood the challenges of the 63% of our first-year Wisconsin students who are the first in their family to attend college. I understood the dreams of creative students to belong, and to match their passion to their life’s purpose – to their career. My life’s journey reflects my steadfast commitment to the power, indeed the imperative, of equitable and inclusive practices and systems to better individual and collective lives.
I am proud of our students’ talents and diversity – of their tenacity and achievements. MIAD students and alumni are the powerful story of our college’s growth and innovation – whether they are serving as mentors for MIAD’s yearlong design internship for underserved area high school students; completing Service Learning at more than 200 non-profits throughout the city; or designing Harley-Davidson’s first electric motorcycle, the airport map for passengers at Milwaukee’s Mitchell International Airport, an inclusive social media campaign for Carmex, or an environmental campaign for Kohler.
On behalf of our faculty, staff, and students, we thank you for considering an investment in them, our college, and our city. Please contact me at 414-847-3211 for a personal tour or conversation.
