FULL SPEED
AHEAD
LE TTE R F ROM TH E P R E SIDEN T
The past year at MICA marked a succession of historic milestones
that continue to propel the College forward. MICA’s spirit and pride
were on full display in the spring, as the College passionately celebrated
the legendary tenure of Fred Lazarus IV and the transformative impact
of his educational, cultural, and civic genius. Meanwhile, I was
welcomed as MICA’s new president with warmth and a collaborative
spirit by students, faculty, staff, trustees, and the Baltimore community.
Although I have just begun my tenure at MICA, I feel as if I have
always been part of the MICA family. With your help, I have been
able to hit the ground running with wonderful partners throughout
the College, the City of Baltimore, and around the world.
As I have established my new home in MICA’s own Bolton Hill
area and settled into my position, I cannot help but to be struck
by the multifaceted contributions the College has made and the
resultant goodwill MICA has enjoyed in the neighborhood, and
across the city and state. Our international presence and stature are
also evident. As I immerse myself into all things MICA, I am more
convinced than ever that MICA has one of the firmest foundations
for sustained success and impact of any art and design college in
the world. I look forward to building on that foundation as we
chart our progressive course for the future.

A fundraising milestone was also achieved last year,
a record year for our Annual Fund, and supporters
provided major gifts through the Lazarus Legacy
Fund in a phenomenal show of confidence for the
trajectory former President Lazarus set us on.
The College is energized by the financial support,
and I am grateful that our generous donors rally
whenever an opportunity exists to strengthen
MICA’s reputation and positioning for the future.
numerous alumni who have achieved groundbreaking
work in a dizzying array of fields—as exhibiting
artists, entrepreneurs and business owners, corporate
executives, academicians, nonprofit leaders, authors,
filmmakers, gallery founders, curators, and countless
others. Their personal success has gone hand in
hand with public contributions as they have become
artists and designers who help drive cultural,
economic, and social advancement.
There is a clear return on philanthropic investment
in the education of our talented students, as MICA’s
mission brings forth a meaningful return on invention,
ingenuity, innovation, and imagination. Our holistic
approach to art and design education, focusing on
artistic development, purpose and vision, lifelong
careers, and the common good, enables MICA
graduates to excel and lead in a wide range of
fields and industries. During my first months at
MICA, I have been gratified to hear about
MICA has the substance and opportunity to be a
leading voice in making a bold and broad case for
the value of artists and designers in society far
beyond the traditional cultural arena. We are
familiar with the concept of living in a knowledgebased economy, driven by information and
advanced skills. An equally important concept is a
creativity-based economy, which takes the knowledgebased economy a step forward by embracing skills
associated with innovation and invention. Creativity

Hoi speaks about the future of MICA, Baltimore, and art and design education during his installation ceremony.
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
In a nation stratified by an alarmingly widening
income gap, the education of a creative workforce
is a great social-economic equalizer. One of my
priorities is ensuring that one’s background does
not hinder his or her ability to attend and succeed
at our school, especially young people who already
call Baltimore home. Through the development
of their innate creativity and talent, young people
from disadvantaged backgrounds can more
readily advance themselves and their families.
Equitable and inclusive investment in arts
education and creative jobs and enterprises can
lead to opportunities that activate the natural
strengths of a diverse work force. By expanding
/
MICA is also poised to expand its trademark
collaborative network by embedding artists and
designers in novel and unexpected partnerships.
The non-linear way artists see and contemplate
things and the holistic and comprehensive nature
of design thinking are increasingly prized in multiple
arenas. Great products and services integrate
operational efficiency and technical ingenuity with
smart design interface and alluring aesthetics.
Breakthrough scientific research often benefits
from surprising, non-traditional question formulation
and data visualization. As much as in their native
disciplines, artists and designers serve a unique
role in envisioning and actualizing inventions and
discoveries in corporate operation, science, human
services, and technology.

and innovation—so intrinsic to MICA’s mission,
work, and impact—will continue to define our
future. I am excited to work with MICA’s campus
community and external partners, as together we
fashion new ways to support creative entrepreneurs
and social innovators in Baltimore so that the creative
class can grow as a valued anchor constituency of
the region.

FRESH PROGRAMS
Just as MICA pushes students to find solutions for
complex new challenges, the College pushes faculty to
develop programming in response to a world that is
changing around us, preparing students for fields that will
transform in unforeseen ways in the near future.
/
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Technology is changing how films are made and how
media are delivered, expanding the industry well beyond
the studio-driven hubs of Los Angeles and New York City.
Reductions in equipment cost, the ability to generate
quality output using a wide range of cross-functional tools,
revolutionary new funding models, and the ability
to instantly access digital content via a multitude of media
platforms mean that a filmmaker can sustain a career
anywhere on the globe. Despite these changes, many
film programs around the country continue to pursue
a pedagogical approach rooted in the past. MICA
is determined to change that paradigm by constructing
a program that focuses on the business behind the
Led by Patrick Wright, co-producer of the Emmy-winning
documentary Music by Prudence, students in the program
will work through a curriculum that integrates cinematic
history, idea generation, script writing, production, and
the process of delivering films to their intended audience.
First-year students will work on short films and crew
for second-year students, who will produce films as their
thesis project. Wright will be joined by Filmmaker-inResidence Eliza Hittman, recently named one of Filmmaker
magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film.” The
program will emphasize collaboration and sustainability,
and will be housed in the restored and renovated Centre
Theater, where students from both MICA and Johns Hopkins
University will share state-of-the-art facilities and equipment.
The joint center will connect students with faculty and
resources from the two world-class educational institutions,
and with a host of films and filmmakers through the
Maryland Film Festival, which will be housed across the
street. Their combined efforts could lead to the emergence
of Baltimore as a new filmmaking powerhouse.
M A RY L A N D I N S T I T U T E C O L L E G E O F A RT
This academic model, central to the College’s curricular
development since its founding, was demonstrated once
again during the spring 2014 announcement of the new
MFA in Filmmaking program, set to enroll its first
students in fall 2015, which takes advantage of a sweeping,
technology-driven realignment of the film and media industry.
industry in addition to the art of film-based storytelling.
The program is designed to take advantage of the
industry’s transformation, offering instruction not just
in the traditional aspects of filmmaking but also in the
development of practical skills, including emerging
practices in the industry’s distribution, production, funding,
and consumption models.
25
MICA prepares students for creative leadership from the
screen to the stage. Like the MFA in Filmmaking program,
MICA’s Theater Concentration prepares students for
all aspects of the production process. Culminating in the
production of an annual play, students engage in experiential
learning by designing costumes, sets, props, sound, and
lighting, in addition to acting. They also develop the posters,
programs, websites, and media kits needed to promote
the show. The diverse range of course topics includes
Shakespeare, contemporary drama, poetry, garment design,
puppets and prosthetics, special effects, storytelling,
character design, scenic design, and social documentary.
The new and refreshed programming has
continued to draw new students from all
over the world, at the undergraduate and
graduate levels, and is a source of strategic
advantage for our graduates.
26
The BFA in Architectural Design program, to which
students were able to commit for the first time in FY 2013,
features a curriculum designed to address evolving realities
in the field. Community-based projects are integrated with
coursework, studio projects, and collaboration with other
fine arts programs at MICA to create a unique academic
experience in which students gain the technical, creative,
and critical thinking skills needed to be innovators in
architecture firms or go on to graduate school. In addition,
students are prepared to embrace emerging technologies
as they work with 3D modeling tools, digital fabrication
machines, and computer-aided design software. Through
electives, students may explore a wide range of other areas
of study, including graphic design, package design, gaming,
prototyping, fiber, textiles, psychogeography, urban farming,
woodworking, sustainability, and urban design as they
learn to put together creative strategies that draw from
many different disciplines. In addition to Chair Timothy
Aziz, a registered architect, many of the courses offered
in the program are led by faculty drawn from the
regional architectural community so students gain
professional contacts along with hands-on experience.
Like the MFA in Filmmaking and Theater Concentration,
the BFA in Architectural Design program builds on MICA’s
strong tradition of creating trendsetting academic programs
that challenge students to push their artistry to the next
level through the creation of solutions to real-world
problems that can be critiqued and implemented now.
The new and refreshed programming has continued to draw
new students from all over the world, at the undergraduate
and graduate levels, and is a source of strategic advantage
for our graduates. As new programs prepare to launch in
FY 2015, these and similar recent models continue to pave
the way for the College’s academic innovation.
D ON OR PROFIL E
JOAN M. E. GAITHER EDD
Shortly after Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither, former chair of undergraduate art education, began her
professional career, her grandmother gave her a key piece of advice: “When you go to bed
at night, know that you have made someone else’s life better by giving something back.”
Gaither took those words to heart and has lived a life of service, freely giving the three Ts—
her time, talent, and treasure—to MICA and other institutions she believes in.
Though she has no biological children of her own, “I have been blessed with many children
through my teaching career,” Gaither said. Through those relationships, she has seen how
art gives children “the opportunity to express who they are and find their voice,” she said.
For that reason, Gaither is particularly proud of the work that MICA’s Young People’s Studio
(YPS) programs have done over the years. The YPS programs provide workshops for elementary,
middle, and high school students, helping them to find their creative spark and nurture their
natural artistic ability. “It serves the kids, and it serves the community,” Gaither said.
Dr. Joan M. E. Gaither
Gaither has donated to the YPS programs throughout the years and recently established
an endowed scholarship. To raise money for the fund, she hosted a birthday party, where
she challenged guests to donate $1 for each of her 70 years of life. Some donated more, as
she received checks for $100 and $150. With hopes of doubling the amount raised next
year, Gaither believes other faculty members can follow her example. “This is a model that
can be repeated,” she said.
“If you’ve been given to, you have the responsibility of giving back.”
As MICA looks to the future with a new president, Gaither is optimistic about what’s next
for the College, and she remains focused on how she can continue to share her financial
gifts. “I think each leader comes in his or her season, so I expect that MICA will continue
to move forward,” she said.

THE WORLD’S BEST
GET BETTER AT MICA
MICA leads the way in attracting Fulbright scholars
Like Emily Zuch ’08, many MICA graduates have had the high honor of being named a Fulbright scholar,
and they have used the accompanying grant to study and make art all over the world—Germany, in Zuch’s case,
after she won the award in 2014. If winning a Fulbright fellowship is one of the greatest honors an art or design
student can be awarded, it follows that an equally superlative salute is to be chosen as a Fulbright scholar’s place
of study. That honor was bestowed on MICA four times in spring 2014, when fellows from Central America,
the Middle East, and Europe all chose to use their fellowship to study in Baltimore in MICA’s graduate programs.
As MICA’s global prestige has continued to grow, so has its appeal to some of the world’s most talented artists
and designers who, after already demonstrating their phenomenal ability, choose to come to MICA to take their
acclaimed talent to an even higher level.

SI LV I A M ATA- M ARIN
UP C LO S E W IT H SILV IA MATA-M A R IN
MA IN SOCIAL DESIGN
FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR FROM COSTA RICA
Q: Why do you think social design can be used to help foster a
better Costa Rica?
Q: What do you look forward to most about studying in Baltimore?
A: What I most look forward to about studying in Baltimore is
Baltimore itself. In just a month of being here, I have seen that this
city has an incredible movement in terms of community engagement
and civic participation. There are a lot of people doing positive things
for their city and joining efforts to revitalize and reclaim their city.
I think that’s just amazing, and I had never been exposed to something
similar. It seems like this is one of the best places to be if you are
interested in Social Design.
–Silvia Mata-Marin
Q: So far, how has the MICA learning environment inspired your
own creativity?
A: MICA’s environment, in terms of the freedom you have to develop
your own personal interests, has been perhaps the thing I most
appreciate. This freedom encourages you to pursue work that you’re
actually passionate about.
Q: Why do you think you have such a passion for social change?
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
A: My interest in social design and social change came when I
realized that I’m actually very privileged in the sense that I’ve had
access to higher education and a family that supports me in every
possible way. I’ve never been told that I could not be who I wanted.
In Costa Rica, I was exposed to people that had not been given the
same opportunities, or they had no access to them, and it made me
realize that my skills gained from all these amazing opportunities
would be best used in trying to help in any way possible for other
people to gain access to the same opportunities.
/
After graduating, she began a career as a traditional
graphic designer, but found that advertising, branding, and
editorial design didn’t feed her social passion. She looked
for more socially focused design programs in Costa Rica,
but they were virtually unheard of there. Mata-Marin
believes that expertise in the field is desperately needed
there because it can be used to tackle some of the most
pressing challenges in that developing country. She came
to Baltimore with hopes of using her Fulbright award to
learn to work with organizations to solve complex social
challenges and, through MICA, grow her understanding
of how design can uplift communities.
A: Costa Rica, as a developing country, has been facing a plethora of
social problems amongst every person that lives there. These social
issues are so diverse in nature and in the groups of people that are
directly affected by them that I thought the MASD program would be
an excellent fit for learning how to address social problems generated
by a very wide range of factors. Even if the program is not based in
Costa Rica and does not study social problems that are specific to
Costa Rica and the region, I believe that the tools I’m getting from MASD
can be used to deal with any social problem in any part of the world.
M A RY L A N D I N S T I T U T E C O L L E G E O F A RT
As word about MICA spreads around the world, the
reputation of groundbreaking programs at the College,
like the MA in Social Design program (MASD), has grown
as well. The program, novel in its laser-like focus on
exploring methods to use design to make positive change,
is attracting the most civic-minded designers on the planet,
evidenced by the decision of Silvia Mata-Marin to apply and
enroll. With two parents who are both Fulbright awardees
who used their awards to pursue PhDs in computer science,
a sister who is an economist, and two brothers who are
engineers, excellence was expected in Mata-Marin’s family.
She did, however, decide to focus her talent in a more
artistic direction, using it to improve communities. While
she was earning BFAs in both graphic design and sculptural
design from the Universidad de Costa Rica, she took a
particular interest in rural and marginalized areas of the
country. She spent two years creating murals in those areas,
and then she turned her attention to documenting indigenous
migrant groups in Costa Rica and neighboring Panama.
“In just a month
of being here,
I have seen that
this city has
an incredible
movement
in terms of
community
engagement
and civic
participation.”

“I’ve
witnessed
art become
a bridge
between
people.”
–Nada Alaradi
NADA AL ARADI
MFA IN CURATORIAL PRACTICE
FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR FROM BAHRAIN
When you grow up in a family of artisans, an appreciation
for the beauty of colors and shades comes as second nature.
Through painting, sculpture, and installations, multidisciplinary artist Nada Alaradi captures the interaction
between people. She believes that much of human
communication, from body language to word choice, is
based on a self-image rooted in how we would like others
to perceive us. The impact of connections between
individuals is a central element of much of her work.
The Bahrain-born artist believes that art can make
communities better, and she has worked with groups of
young artists to bring people together around art and
foster changes in society. She is especially motivated by
the discord that sprang up in the country during the wave
of political unrest that swept the Middle East and Africa
in 2011. She is interested in exploring the “us vs. them”
mentality that undermines social cohesion not only in
Bahrain but all over the world. Alaradi hopes to pursue
collaborative projects that help break down artificial
barriers between people and groups. Once people have a
more objective view of what we consider to be differences,
she believes, the quality of life will improve for everyone.
U P CLOSE W IT H N A DA A L A RA DI
Q: When combined with the cultural influences from your
home country, how do you think the MICA/Baltimore culture
will transform your art?
A: In my short time here in Baltimore, I keep finding the similarities
between Baltimore and Bahrain even though they’re on other ends of
the world; such as its car culture and how they’re both made up of
neighborhoods. Beyond that, the experience of shifting your entire life
to a new country alone is enough to open up a gateway to personal
36
transformations that most definitely has a direct influence on creating
art. Being at MICA is also a huge boost for my creativity; constantly
being around other creative minds that are focused on channeling
their energies towards artistic expression and analysis allows me to
look at my work in new perspectives and compare it to
how it is approached here.
Q: After experiencing the “us vs. them” mentality that divides
your home country, how do you think art has the ability to break
down these social barriers?
A: I’ve witnessed art become a bridge between people, I’ve seen
people who do not know each other join in collective art pieces for
no other reason than it seemed like fun, and through that formed
friendships or generated conversation. I’ve witnessed people connect
to one another through oral history or at art exhibitions where the
audience has sat down and exchanged stories with each other about
what those art pieces meant to them. Art is without language.
Regardless whether it is being witnessed or made, art creates a
space for communication, connection, and understanding, which
are the very tools needed to break down the social barriers we’ve
created for ourselves.
Q: What art values do you believe were passed down through
your family through artmaking?
A: I think that my uncles taught me that in art (and life) it’s okay
to make mistakes or to be wrong, or perhaps that being wrong
sometimes is the best thing you could have done. Another art value
they’ve taught me is that we are always learners, so use new
materials, always think about what you could be doing differently,
and experiment, experiment, experiment.
Q: What artistic niche do you hope to find that will help you
impact the Baltimore community in a positive manner?
A: I think my favorite form of art is interaction, and I hope that
I would be able to interact with locals and bring my very distant
perspective of the world to the people of Baltimore. I’d like to expose
my cultural norms that I would generally take for granted in Bahrain,
such as our strong sense of care and service to others in small
communities. These are some of the things I would love to bring
to Baltimore and serve as a reminder of how human we all are.

RINEHART SCHOOL OF SCULPTURE
Q: How has using yourself as a subject allowed you to grow as
an artist? How does your artmaking process help you to overcome
your own vulnerabilities and navigate your own feelings?
FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR FROM DUBAI
After focusing on graphic design during her undergraduate
education at American University in Dubai, Sara Al Haddad
turned her artistic attention to fiber. Her work centers on
using art as a tool for self-empowerment by helping people
face and overcome their insecurities through gaining
insight into their emotions. She has exhibited around the
world, including shows in Dubai, New York, Germany,
and Switzerland. When she looked at graduate sculpture
programs, she searched for a school with a close-knit
community that would embrace her passion for using fiber
to explore fear and doubt.
A: Using myself as a subject has helped me explore and touch
upon my own psyche, which has been a rewarding experience
for both my work and myself. Employing emotion in my work,
I examine my vulnerable side, prompting questions that lead to
doubt and self-revelations. The art of making has been my way to
channel raw emotions into physical objects—to confront and
converse with them.
Haddad often uses herself as her subject, exploring her
own feelings as a window into the human psyche. She is
particularly fascinated with the temporal nature of feelings
and how they can sometimes devolve in intensity until
they become faint thoughts. In her artmaking, she plans
to take a critical look at the value of feelings as they change
over time.
Q: How do you incorporate your graphic design background into
your fiber/sculpture work?
“There is an
undeniable
healing
process through
creation.”
–Sara Al Haddad
There is an undeniable healing process through creation, to indulge
in a process that results in a physical object. I believe there’s a lot
of oneself that is exhausted throughout the process. As vulnerable
as it can get—destructive, if you want to stretch it—individuals
experience it differently. I have found it to keep me sane.
Q: How do you think the close-knit community at MICA has or
will help you evolve as an artist? How will MICA’s sculpture
program help you to advance your artistic vision?
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Doing a graduate teaching internship, or GTI, in the Intro to Fiber
course and being a part of Rinehart, I feel like I am having the best
of both worlds. There’s a lot of inspiration bouncing off from my GTI

in contrast to the different materials and techniques used by my
classmates. There’s definitely a lot of productivity happening over there.

A: Being in the Rinehart open studio space and being surrounded
by artists working with different materials under the same discipline
has already been very generous in its inspiring nature. There have
already been some exchanges in the studio space and associations of

MFA IN ILLUSTRATION PRACTICE
Q: What influenced you to pursue illustration, and how
do you believe your upbringing in Turkey has influenced
your artistic perspective?
FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR FROM TURKEY
Meltem Sahin graduated from Bilkent University in
Turkey with the highest grade point average. Since then,
she has continued her career as a well-regarded illustrator,
providing art for children’s books, magazines, and
newspapers. She is also skilled in animation and has
created digital characters and sculpting models. In addition,
she has created mobile apps for tablets and smartphones
and worked as an illustrator for the Turkish Ministry of
Culture and Tourism.
Though Sahin is an award-winning illustrator, she is
also skilled in printmaking, painting, and sculpting.
Her recent children’s book was selected to be exhibited
across Japan, and she was one of 70 illustrators out
of 3,000 chosen to be published in the 50th anniversary
issue of Bologna Annual: Illustrators of Children’s Books.
A: Growing up with a mother who is a Turkish illumination artist,
I am very familiar with Turkish traditional arts, and from early
childhood, I have attended many courses, such as marbling and
miniature painting. My affection for learning traditional techniques
didn’t end with those classes. For the last two years, I’ve been
working with Iranian illustrators Saeed Ensafi and Sahar Bardaie
in their printmaking studio, Studio Dou.
Q: How do your multiple interests in printmaking, painting, and
sculpting make your artmaking process unique?
A: Becoming acquainted with printmaking has broadened my horizons
in illustration. What I admire most about printmaking is that there is
a space both for extemporization as well as experimentation. Since
everything in the creation process of illustration is becoming digitalized
and intended in result, I believe the unpredictability of techniques like
marbling and printmaking is what 21st-century illustrations demand.
Q: How do you hope MICA will expand your career in illustration?
A: In Turkish universities, a separate specialized department of
illustration does not exist. I hope to be a pioneer to fill the gap
in this area and move beyond the frame determined for me in Turkey.
I hope to expand that frame through MICA’s MFA in Illustration
Practice program and educate future generations of great illustrators
in Turkey.

JOSEPH AND HARVEY MEYERHOFF
FAMILY CHARITABLE FUNDS
The stellar art education that MICA students receive would be for naught if they could
not find work in their fields. Recognizing that fact, the Joseph and Harvey Meyerhoff Family
Charitable Funds (the Funds), a group of Baltimore-based family foundations honoring
the philanthropic vision of Baltimore’s iconic Meyerhoff family, has been helping MICA
graduates turn their artistic dreams into reality.
The Funds have made a number of contributions to MICA over the years, including a
large investment in the Joseph Meyerhoff Center for Career Development, which provides
students with career resources and professional support. Most recently, the Funds
established the Meyerhoff Internship Fellowship, which provides students with funding so
they can take advantage of internships in their field over the summer without having to
worry about financial obligations. “Once they finish their schooling at MICA, we’re very
focused on making sure young artists have opportunities to work in their craft,” said the
Funds’ Vice President of Baltimore and Domestic Initiatives Buffy Minkin.
Buffy Minkin
“What better investment
to make than in future
artists for our communities
at large?”

One reason for the Funds’ longtime support of MICA is the College’s “stalwart position in
the community,” Minkin said. “The Funds have always focused on investing in community
partners of excellence,” she added. Supporting the arts has also been a priority because
without them, “the family has always felt that Baltimore City is not as vibrant,” she said.
Because of the Funds’ long-term support of MICA, the Meyerhoff family has been in a
unique position to see all of the College’s achievements over the decades. “Sammy
has an incredibly rich landscape from which to draw,” Minkin said. “This is an amazing
opportunity for Baltimore City because there is new, energizing leadership.”
As a member of the fourth generation of the Meyerhoff family, Minkin takes the Funds’
role in making a difference seriously. “We are building on the legacy that has been laid
out before us, and we are the stewards of these funds moving forward to help enrich the
fabric of the community and make lives better,” she said.

EVELYN DYKE SCHROEDL ’40
Like many people who came of age during the Great Depression, Evelyn Dyke Schroedl ’40
thought attending college would be financially out of the question. But when a friend of
the family paid her initial tuition, she was thrilled to find herself a student at MICA.
Now she is returning the favor with the establishment of the Evelyn D. Schroedl Scholarship
for Arts & Design. The million-dollar fund will be used to defray costs for MICA students
who, like her so many years ago, have financial difficulty attending college. “If this friend
hadn’t paid the tuition, I wouldn’t have been able to attend,” she recalled. “I would like to
see somebody else be able to go to MICA because of my help.”
Schroedl’s relationship with MICA began at an early age. While in high school, she attended
classes at MICA in the afternoons and on Saturdays. One of her favorite MICA memories
is of learning watercolor painting techniques. Evelyn’s husband, Irwin C. Schroedl, Jr., was
a MICA graduate. Her nephew, Dennis Maitland, and a cousin, Henrietta Rippersberger,
attended MICA as well.
“Artists allow us to see the world in a different way.”
Evelyn Dyke Schroedl ’40
An avid world traveler and tennis player, Schroedl, at 97, continues to practice her art.
She still paints and sometimes sells a painting to benefit a scholar’s fund at the retirement
community where she lives.
Schroedl is a Leadership Donor to MICA because she believes well-trained artists make a
tremendous contribution to society. “Artists help us see things differently,” she said. She
set up the scholarship in her name as a way to support the Lazarus Legacy Fund Campaign,
which seeks to strengthen areas that former MICA President Fred Lazarus IV recognized
as being important for the College’s future.
As MICA begins a new phase under President Samuel Hoi, Schroedl continues to
expect great things from the College as it influences Baltimore and the world beyond.
Under its new leadership, MICA will be different, “but I know it will continue to send its
graduates out to change the world,” she said.

ENERGY AND EXPERIENCE
Generation X-era faculty members have a distinct influence
on MICA students
MICA’s faculty is legendary. From Margaret Glace, the first woman to hold the position of dean at an American
art college, to the legendary Grace Hartigan and art education pioneer Dr. Al Hurwitz, the extraordinary artists,
designers, and scholars who direct their creative passions to mentor the world’s most talented students are the core
of the energy that powers the MICA experience. Many of MICA’s faculty members have distinguished themselves
not only as talented professionals, but as long-term instructors who have proven their impact over many years.
Just as important to the MICA experience, however, is the phenomenal infusion of new perspectives and ideas
brought forth by younger faculty members who can provide remarkable insight to students seeking to link their
MICA education to the contemporary careers they seek.
It seems not so long ago that Generation Xers were students themselves, initially defying stereotypes to such an
extent that historians and social commentators gave them the “X” moniker to represent the unknown nature
of their collective persona. Eventually, however, the generation took on a distinct profile in the realm of public
perception—assertive if not aggressive, resourceful, and somewhat self-focused. However, a look at a small sample
of MICA faculty members under age 40, in or on the cusp of Gen X, belies the self-focused stereotype. These
instructors have acquired a stellar breadth of experience at a relatively young age, and they are bringing their energy,
experience, and unique perspectives to the classroom and studio to help students launch their professional endeavors.

ER I K SPA N G LE R, PHD
(A . K . A . D J D U BB L E8)
Q: Why did you decide to come and work at MICA?
A: Well, I was interested in working with students who weren’t necessarily from the traditional music background. What I found attractive
about teaching at an art school was that I could talk about sound as
a material similar to other materials used in sculpture and the visual
arts without the baggage of traditional music training. I think there
are ways that artists can work with sound that they weave into multimedia artwork such as sound installations, or they can simply work
with sound as its own medium in making abstract soundscapes or
sound pieces that don’t depend on traditional musical structures. We
do the full range of learning, from how to record sound, like location
sound for film, to sound effects, to abstract sound collages, as well as
synthesis—generating sounds from analog synthesizers and software.
Q: Why do you think your students have such an interest in
working with sound?
A: Everyone has a lot of ideas. I don’t have to pull teeth to get them
in a creative zone, and I find it really inspiring to teach students at
MICA. There is always work that surprises me in really wonderful
ways every semester, and we have great discussions about philosophical
points related to sound and just critique of each other’s work. It is just
a dynamic and creative group of students to work with.
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
Q: What do you find unique about working with students at MICA?
–Dr. Erik Spangler
/
A: There is a really wide variety of interest in sound among the
students. There are a good many students who are actually interested
in making their own music and doing live performance, and some
who are interested in doing interactive installations that have a sound
element, or just having sound as part of an interactive design in an
exhibit. It is somewhat of an obstacle to get past the association of
sound with music, but I think we are doing something unique here
in the sound program that isn’t being done anywhere else, in terms of
teaching sound for artists. We’re not like an audio engineering program
that is coming from a completely technical standpoint, and we’re not
a music program in the sense that students need to learn basic theory
and master this whole historical perspective. We can get right into
the details of how you sculpt sound into something interesting as an
artwork. We do teach sound design, but really in drawing connections
back to where that came from, in the field of experimental music
and the many visual artists who were also working with sound in
experimental ways.
“There is
always work
that surprises
me in really
wonderful ways
every semester.”
M A RY L A N D I N S T I T U T E C O L L E G E O F A RT
Dr. Erik Spangler is certainly not your average music
instructor. He holds an undergraduate degree in music
composition from Oberlin College Conservatory of Music
and a doctorate in music composition from Harvard
University. A MICA instructor focused on courses in the
Sound Art concentration, he is also a composer whose work
has been performed from the U.S. to China. He has been
interested in the field since age eight, studying modern
classical music all the way through graduate school and
then branching out to electronic music production,
collaboration, and improvisation. His diverse musical
influences span the gamut, including baroque, heavy metal,
classical guitar, works by French composer Olivier Messiaen,
Appalachian banjo, hip hop, and arrangements by The
Roots, a platinum-selling recording group. He composes
music for others to perform, experiments with live sampling,
DJs with hip hop music, and creates abstract sound art by
remixing the sounds of a particular environment. He is on
a mission to “dissolve cultural boundaries while drawing all
corners of inspiration into cohesive sound images,” and
he uses his own experience in his teaching. With fellow
sound teacher Jason Sloan, Spangler takes students to
international electronic music institutes during the spring,
currently working with the Studio for Electro-Instrumental
Music in Amsterdam and the Mexican Center for Music and
Sonic Arts in Morelia, Mexico. One of his goals is also to
connect MICA students with the greater Baltimore
community, which has led to the creation of The Vigil,
an annual all-night event entering its sixth year, where
musicians and experimental sound producers from all over
Baltimore are invited to come to campus and perform
sets into the early morning hours.

–LaToya Hobbs
LaToya Hobbs is on the front lines of the MICA educational
process, teaching the newest of students the core elements of
art and design through Foundation courses. She is a native of
North Little Rock, Arkansas, and knows the power of identity,
having grown up not far from Little Rock’s Central High
School, the then-segregated public school integrated through
presidential orders enforced by the National Guard. She
believes that visual arts influence not only how people see
themselves, but how they feel about the communities they live
in. Her artistic focus has been in exploring representations of
African-American women, deconstructing past stereotypes
related to their bodies, and reconstructing images that
foster positivity. While examining the intersection between
race, gender, and identity, she gives voice to the women
featured in her work, allowing them to have a conversation
with the viewer in which the subject ultimately must turn
to concepts of beauty. Among others, she enjoys using
printmaking as a medium. “The act of cutting away from my
matrix to shape an image is synonymous with the way one
has to cut away the negative ideologies imposed on them by
others to expose or embrace their true selves,” she says.
L ATOYA HO B BS IN HER OW N WO RDS
Q: Why is printmaking a form of protest?
A: Technically, any form of art can be used as a form of protest,
depending on the content or message the artist is trying to convey.
When I talk about printmaking, I usually describe it as the first means
of mass communication because, before it became popular as a fine
arts medium, it was used as a means to communicate ideas or messages
to the masses through visual imagery. Many of those messages were in
opposition to certain ideologies, conditions, and systems of oppression.
This spirit of resistance or protest can be seen in the work produced
by artist communities and movements such as Africobra, the AfricanAmerican Modernists, and the Taller de Gráfica Popular; as well as the
work of individual artists such as Elizabeth Catlett, Francisco Mora,
and Emory Douglas, all of which employed the use of printmaking.
Q: What do you enjoy most about teaching?
A: The aspect of teaching I enjoy most is helping my students get over
the fear of doing something they thought they couldn’t do. Each class I
teach has students with varying skill levels. I find that those with little
technical skill are sometimes nervous or intimidated when it comes to
taking drawing and painting. Sometimes those students end up being
among the strongest in the class. One of my strengths as a teacher is
simplifying complex ideas and presenting course materials in such a
way that they are comprehensible to the whole class. I also work well
with students individually. This allows me to give practical and strategic
advice on how to build their skills according to their present level.
Q: Does teaching Foundation courses have a special meaning
for you? Why?
A: If I could describe the Foundation year in one word, it would
be transition. Transition can be experienced in many facets of life:
location, lifestyle, identity, community, and the process of learning;
all of which apply to MICA freshmen. In many cases, the Foundation
Department is one of the first impressions of MICA for first-year
students, and as we all know, a first impression can make or break a
relationship. In this pivotal stage of flux, I feel honored that I have
the opportunity to aid my students in making a successful transition
that will have a lasting effect on their artistic and academic careers
here at MICA.
Q: As a relatively new member of the MICA family, what is your
perception of the MICA creative environment?
A: For me, the MICA creative environment represents an eloquent
and exciting blend of tradition and innovation. As a community, we
hold fast to the principles and core values that helped shape MICA
into the esteemed institution it is today while constantly seeking
out new methods to advance the way we teach, learn, and create.
I experienced this balance of tradition and innovation firsthand in my
department, and secondly with last year’s Art Walk event. Since it
was my first time attending the event, I wasn’t quite sure what to
expect, but I was completely blown away by the variety and caliber
of work produced by the graduating seniors. This event alone can be
viewed as a testament to the dedication and cutting edge practices
of MICA’s creative community.
CH R I ST I N E M AN GAN ARO, PHD
MICA’s graduates are well prepared to serve as catalysts
for societal change, not simply because they have a firm
foundation in artmaking, but also because they understand
the social, cultural, and historical prisms through which
their work will be viewed. Central to that understanding
is work in humanistic studies, which takes students on an
intellectual journey that will inform their artistic voice.
Manganaro notes that one of the most special aspects of
teaching at MICA is a lack of any specialness at all. “I try
to treat them like college students rather than art college
students, which I gather they prefer,” she says.
DR. C HRIST IN E MA N G A N A RO IN H ER OWN WOR D S
Q: What has been your favorite experience teaching at an
art college?
A: It has been very satisfying to guide MICA students as they work
though complicated ideas about racism, imperial activity, difference,
and inequality in the United States, and so forth, and then go assess
sites where these ideas have a public life, such as the museum and the
movies. Last year, I took my History, Memory, and Imagination class
to see 12 Years a Slave at the Charles Theater. We later compared
that film with Django Unchained—a fascinating discussion about
tensions in creative work over historical accuracy and ethical questions
about representation and artistic license.
Q: Why is a good grounding in humanistic studies important for
an art student?
2014 ANNUAL REPORT
–Dr. Christine Manganaro
/
A: Learning about how ideas and social practices have shaped the
world we live in is essential for art students who want to contribute
meaningfully toward reframing persistent ideas or advancing new
ones. Humanistic studies, with its myriad disciplines, offers methods
for answering questions. I’m a historian, so my focus is very much on
the past. I’d argue that the best history is in some way a genealogy of
the present and that the fullest perspective on the current moment is
only accessible through an understanding of the past.

There have never been more international students who call
MICA their academic home than now. In 2013, MICA hosted
undergraduate and graduate students from 61 countries.
Each student has brought a diverse perspective and cultural
context that enhances the learning environment on campus
and contributes to the informed creativity that has become
the hallmark of a MICA graduate. International students
are a key part of the MICA family, becoming teachers in
their own right as they expose other students and even their
own instructors to new ways of thinking and approaches
to artmaking. These incredibly important members of the
MICA family continue to enable the College to expand its
strategic global view.
Q: Why was it important for you to pursue training in both
art and linguistics?
As talented as MICA’s international students are, they
often need assistance in adjusting to the nuances of
American English and other aspects of life in Baltimore.
Thankfully, undergraduate students have access to
Allison Yasukawa. With an MFA in Studio Arts and a
MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
and Applied Linguistics from the University of Illinois at
Chicago, she is uniquely qualified to serve as a guide
for talented art and design students new to America.
She is a full-time faculty member in the Foundation
Department, where she teaches classes that integrate
artmaking with language learning.
Yasukawa’s research in applied linguistics focuses on the
relationship between visual arts practice and language
learning. Her own multidisciplinary work explores themes
of social encounters, the physical body, and the politics and
performance of identity, and has been featured in exhibits
in Washington, DC; Philadelphia; and Chicago. With partner
Adam Farcus, she also runs Lease Agreement, an artist-run
exhibition space in Baltimore’s Waverly neighborhood.

A: Art, design, and language share a productive and complementary
overlap because they are vehicles of communication. Quite simply,
language enables us to engage in dialogue to exchange information.
This same ability is also necessary in art and design—while the
medium may be different, the purpose is similar. This overlap means
that instruction in arts-based language teaching has the rare
opportunity for each discipline to reinforce the communicative
practices inherent to the other.
Q: What is your favorite part of working with international
students?
A: Students’ enthusiasm is magnetic. I love sharing in and
bearing witness to students’ curiosity and excitement when they
learn something new, try something out for the first time, or
make unexpected connections.
Q: Why do you think MICA is a good place for international
students to study?
A: At the undergraduate level, MICA offers a unique learning
opportunity that combines art and design learning and language
learning in four Foundation-year classes for students who enter the
college with at least intermediate English level [proficiency]. In these
classes, language instruction is not a separate course of study but
rather integrated into core class content, so that it is directly and
immediately relevant to students’ artistic and academic lives.
Q: What is the most critical aspect of helping international
students have a productive learning experience at MICA?
A: Comprehensive internationalization, which the NAFSA: Association
of International Educators has defined as “a commitment, confirmed
through action, to infuse international and comparative perspectives
throughout the teaching, research, and service missions of higher
education,” is essential for the creation of a productive learning
environment in today’s globally focused world. We have begun to
make inroads into comprehensive internationalization across the
campus. In order to maintain a commitment to the needs of not only
our international students, but all of our students, this work needs
to continue to be a top priority and to receive the attention and
support necessary for relevant and sustained engagement.

Q: Given your accomplishments as an exhibiting artist, why do you
devote so much of your time to teaching?
A: Teaching serves two functions for me. For one, it forces me to
clarify my core concerns in my individual courses, which in turn
reinforces my own beliefs about what truly matters to me as an
instructor. Also, I find that I am always learning something new while
I am in ‘teaching’ mode. Whether it is in a Foundation painting course
or working with seniors, I am constantly surprised when a student
discovers an answer that is new and meaningful to him or her. It is
this shared place of discovery and play that keeps me coming back.
Q: What is the secret of your success as such an effective instructor?
A: Most schools I have visited have their share of star students. What
stands out about the students here at MICA is not only their sheer
talent, but also in the overall supportive and caring atmosphere that
they all seem to share. I see this develop early and continue from
freshman year to their last semesters at MICA—in the classroom, in
hallway conversations, and in studio critiques. There is a strange and
surprisingly natural familial nature to this place, which extends beyond
the students to the faculty, staff, and administration as well.
Q: What is the most unique element of the learning environment
at MICA?
A: Well, perhaps the most unique element for me has been the
freedom to develop courses based on ideas that link my studio
practice to my pedagogical interests. It allows for a more fluid,
intuitive, and ultimately more honest and directed approach that
is as generous as it is specific.

ERIC JORDAHL P’17
Eric Jordahl P’17’s son, Caleb, currently a second-year painting major, knew early on that
MICA was the school for him. “MICA was really the only place he wanted to go,” Eric said.
He and his wife, Laura, were also so impressed by the incredible depth and breadth of the
resources available at the College that they not only supported their son’s decision to attend,
but they donated money for scholarships so other artistic students could pursue an art
education at MICA.
Two desires prompted the Jordahls to contribute so generously during the 2014 Annual Fund
campaign. One was to allow promising art students the ability to experience all that MICA
has to offer, and the second was for those students to be able to graduate from MICA without
the heavy burden of paying back student loans. “I think it’s a pretty great use of money to give
somebody with talent the opportunity to pursue that talent without the burden of student
loans,” Eric said. “Laura and I want to give kids an opportunity to participate in what
we feel is a pretty great place.”
“Places like MICA should remain vibrant parts
of the American educational landscape.”
Eric Jordahl P’17
Eric, who is a managing director of Skokie, Illinois-based strategic management consulting
firm Kaufman Hall, is also lending his support to MICA in other ways. He was recently
appointed to the Board of Trustees as a Parent Trustee for which he will serve a one-year
term. “Caleb chose this community because it has elements that he values,” Eric said. “So I
view being involved with MICA as continuing to support him and young people like him.”
As a Board member, Jordahl is also looking forward to working closely with new President
Samuel Hoi to find ways to further raise MICA’s visibility so that others are aware of the benefits
a world-class art education can offer. “The value proposition at MICA is strong, and I think
spreading that news as broadly as possible is really important,” he said.

BEYOND THE SELFIE
MICA’s Millennials give back to others
Millennials—the generation that came into adulthood near the start of the current century—are inventors and
explorers. There are more than 80 million of them, larger than any generation before, and though they are young,
their impact on our culture is already profound. Their ability to quickly embrace and make essential new media and
digital technologies has transformed how people of all ages work, communicate, and play in their day-to-day lives.
Millennials are diverse and connected and advocate strongly for individual rights, and while some are considered
self-obsessed, the reality is far different.
Though they popularized the ‘selfie’, Millennials are far from selfish—and their approach to philanthropy proves it.
According to the 2012 Millennial Impact Report, three-quarters of the Millennials it surveyed made a financial
gift to nonprofit organizations. What’s more, almost as many got involved in personal ways beyond writing out
a check, raising funds on behalf of nonprofits and volunteering their time toward causes they believed in.
This trend can be seen at MICA, where young alumni are not only donating to the College in record numbers,
they are also finding new ways to give back.
60
ER ROL W E B B E R , J R . ’08 (filmmaking), a member of MICA’s Alumni Council and
cinematographer of the Academy Award-winning film Music by Prudence, is a prime
example of this kind of active, young donor who gives both his money and time.
Last March, Webber organized and hosted his second Annual Oscars Baltimore Celebration,
a red-carpet event that celebrated not only film, but also young filmmakers from MICA.
During the event, Webber announced the recipients of his new scholarship, the first of its
kind geared exclusively toward supporting students in the College’s filmmaking program.
In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the event went toward support of the Film
and Video Department.
“It was my way of giving back to an institution that prepared me for my career,”
Webber said. “I got my first scholarship from MICA during my junior year, and that money
was what I put toward buying my first camera to further my film endeavors as an undergraduate. The scholarship was important, but equally as important is the ability to always
do the best work you can. Getting that scholarship helped me do better work, and that
is how I got noticed by [Department of Film and Video Chair] Patrick Wright, and that
is why he recommended that I become involved in the film Music by Prudence shortly after
I graduated. I can say that as a beneficiary of two scholarships at MICA, I understand the
importance of getting as much financial assistance as possible.”
Errol Webber, Jr. ’08

“Attending MICA made me a thinker,
a problem solver, a good public speaker,
an amazing visual artist, and someone
involved in my community. MICA made
me what I am today. Why wouldn’t I
give that back to someone else?”
–Charlotte Albertson ’08
Webber’s mix of giving and hands-on involvement is reflected in the experience of
C HA RLOT T E A L B ERTS O N ’ 0 8 (art history, theory, & criticism). Currently director of
annual giving at Lausanne Collegiate School in Memphis, Tennessee, Albertson formerly
worked as assistant director in the College’s Office of Alumni and Parent Relations, where
she used her personal knowledge about life as a MICA student and alumna to enhance
the experience that parents and fellow alumni had with the College. But before she became
involved on a practical level as a staff member, she was a donor whose experience as a
MICA undergraduate inspired her to give back.
Charlotte Albertson ’08
62
As Albertson explained, “I was very involved as a student in extracurricular activities,
but it wasn’t until I was out of school and working in Boston for an art company that I
understood why it was important for me to get involved in giving to MICA financially.
I remember, vividly, getting a letter from the chair of art history explaining that just a
small gift would allow them to bring in a visiting artist, something that would make a
current student’s experience so much richer. It hit home for me. The whole reason I was
able to attend MICA was because I got a scholarship. Attending MICA made me a thinker,
a problem solver, a good public speaker, an amazing visual artist, and someone involved
in my community. MICA made me what I am today. Why wouldn’t I give that back to
someone else?”
That experience was echoed by J EN N IF ER CA RIN CI ’ 0 5 (general fine arts), who is a
pre-doctoral fellow in teacher development and leadership at the Johns Hopkins University’s
School of Education, and was the Maryland Art Education Association’s 2007 Middle
School Teacher of the Year. She is also a member of the College’s Alumni Council.
A scholarship recipient while at MICA, Carinci did not fully appreciate the importance
of giving back until after her graduation from the College. As she explained, “It wasn’t
until I started working full-time and had to support myself that I fully understood what it
was like to make a conscious choice to invest in someone I never met. I had experienced
the impact of such gifts as a student, but it wasn’t until after graduation that I realized
that I could repay my benefactors by paying it forward.”

“It is important to me to give back,
even in small ways of both time and money.
The money I received was not owed to me,
nor was it an anonymous gift that fell from
the sky—it was from people like me now
giving to people like me then.”
M A RY L A N D I N S T I T U T E C O L L E G E O F A RT
She added, “MICA gave so much to me, not only in terms of scholarships but in pushing
me out of my comfort zone and developing my creativity. The students and faculty
exposed me to new ways of thinking and made for four of the most interesting years
of my life, an experience I would not trade and couldn’t replicate anywhere else. The
generosity of others allowed me to attend MICA. It is important to me to give back,
even in small ways of both time and money. The money I received was not owed to me,
nor was it an anonymous gift that fell from the sky—it was from people like me now
giving to people like me then.”

ROBERT A. ZIMMERMAN ’66
As a former scholarship recipient at MICA, Robert A. Zimmerman ’66 (Interior Design)
understands how life transforming financial support can be. The owner and president of a
floral design and event management firm in Baltimore is committed to transforming the
lives of those who come after him.
Zimmerman has established the Zimmerman Family Scholarship to support students in
MICA’s Architectural Design program. Having no children or younger siblings, he has
committed to leaving his entire estate to MICA. “I want to make it possible for someone
else to have the same opportunity that I had,” he said.
His time at MICA was one of the best times of Zimmerman’s life. At MICA, “I found my
niche in the world to be a professional artist,” he said. His experiences at MICA were also a
big influence on his career. He has worked at the Baltimore Museum of Art and the Walters
Art Museum. In 1989, he was hired to design the inaugural ball for President George H.W.
Bush at the National Building Museum.
Robert A. Zimmerman ’66
Even before he was in the position to give financially, Zimmerman contributed his time,
staying active with MICA through his long-term involvement in events such as Art-a-fare and
ArtWalk. Zimmerman has also dedicated his time by serving on the Alumni Council, which
“was very encouraging because you’re there with a group of people who are all interested in
the same kind of things that I was interested in—the betterment of the school,” he said.
“It’s important for alumni to support the school because if
you delve into the person’s background, there is something
about MICA that influenced their professional career.”
64
Zimmerman is just as committed to working with MICA’s new president, Sammy Hoi, as
he was with former President Fred Lazarus IV. “I think the College’s recognition in the local,
state, national, and international communities gives Sammy Hoi and the rest of us a good
foundation for moving forward,” he said.

JAMIE JOHNSON
Jamie Johnson married into the MICA family. Her late husband, William “Bill” Dutterer
’65, ’67 (painting, LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting), was a grateful alumnus who
recognized and deeply appreciated the education he received from MICA. “MICA opened
the world for him,” Johnson said.
Johnson’s first interactions with MICA took place in the mid-1970s. Her role with the
College expanded in the 1990s when she, along with Dutterer, took part in MICA’s efforts
to expand its presence in the New York area.
“Bill’s dedication to MICA ran deep,” Johnson recalled, “to the point that he wanted a sizable
part of our estate to go to MICA.” At his death in 2007, Johnson declared her plan to honor
his wishes in her own will.
Johnson’s initial gift to MICA was in support of the MFA in Curatorial Practice program,
and she will be involved in the upcoming 50th anniversary celebration of the LeRoy E.
Hoffberger School of Painting. She has experienced firsthand the value of curators in today’s
art world. “There are so many artists like Bill Dutterer who do not have the exposure they
deserve,” she said. When he died, Dutterer left behind thousands of pieces of artwork, and
Johnson is determined to make that work available to the public.
Jamie Johnson
MICA’s Curatorial Practice program has helped accomplish her goal. George Ciscle, director
of the program, suggested that Johnson “pitch” the idea as a graduate student thesis project.
Caitlin Tucker-Melvin ’14 accepted the challenge and, with Johnson’s support, created a
major public retrospective of Dutterer’s work that opened in May 2014 in Baltimore.
“My investment in the curatorial program is one of the best
investments I’ve ever made.”
68
Working with the Curatorial Practice students on the exhibition, Johnson was particularly
impressed with how the program encourages them to engage the public—making artwork
accessible to non-artists as well as art professionals. “Curators are increasingly critical in
helping the public understand the value of art in today’s world,” she said.

A RECORD-BREAKING YEAR
MICA has had a long and strong tradition of attracting
philanthropic support from so many members of its
extensive “family”—alumni, parents, friends of the College,
faculty, staff, foundations, corporations, local, state and the
federal government. Yet your collective generosity in the
past giving year (June 1, 2013 to May 31, 2014) surpassed
all previous one-year totals.
The year at MICA was marked by change, celebration,
and anticipation, with the College community recognizing
the remarkable tenure of its longtime, retiring president,
Fred Lazarus IV, while also preparing for the arrival of his
successor, Samuel Hoi. You and so many other wonderfully
loyal and dedicated supporters stepped forward in
unprecedented ways, endorsing through your generosity
the MICA of today—a prestigious art and design educational
center of international repute—while also investing in
exciting new programs and priorities that are destined to
define the College of the future.
Gifts of all types and for all purposes totaled nearly
$18 million in Fiscal Year 2014, a record. Also setting a
new standard was MICA’s Annual Fund, an important
component of overall giving to the College, which topped
more than $3.2 million. These gift totals are truly impressive,
but more important was the impact of those dollars on
the people, programs, facilities, and partners of the College.
Your support helped deserving students come to MICA
and others to be able to stay. Exciting new academic
72
offerings, both undergraduate and graduate, expanded
MICA’s academic reach and clout. Many MICA faculty
were able to have new state-of-the-art “tools” for their
teaching, as well as more professional development
opportunities, enabling them to stay current in the
increasingly technological world that defines contemporary
art and design education. New and renovated campus
facilities—both academic and student-life focused—
enriched the College’s overall learning environment.
MICA also expanded its important commitment to
partnerships with the broader community, both around
the corner and across the world, providing wonderful new
learning opportunities for MICA students while showcasing
the potential and power of the visual arts as agents for
social good. The examples of impact go on and on, but
they share a common theme—none of them could have
occurred without your support.
Many of you said you donated to MICA to recognize and
celebrate its amazing journey to date, as reflected in today’s
MICA. Others, caught up with the exciting potential of
tomorrow, viewed your contributions as investments in
that future. Whatever your motivation, you and your fellow
MICA donors have had a huge impact on the College.
THANK YOU.

Fred Lazarus IV becomes an alumnus upon receiving an
honorary degree from MICA. The honor was the culmination
of a year of programming and events celebrating the legacy
of Lazarus, who retired after 36 years serving as MICA’s
president. Earlier events included Legacy Week, among an array
of tributes and honors Lazarus received throughout the year.
As part of Legacy Week, MICA rededicated the Graduate Studio
Center and adjacent 1801 Falls Road as the Fred Lazarus
IV Center for Graduate Studies. The House of Delegates of
Maryland and the Senate of Maryland both issued resolutions
stating their support for Lazarus upon his retirement. Lazarus
was also selected as recipient of Maryland Citizens for the
Arts’ Sue Hess Maryland Arts Advocate of the Year award,
and the Baltimore Office of Promotion & the Arts announced
the inaugural Fred Lazarus IV Artscape Prize (“The Fred”).
Finally, the Baltimore Sun named Lazarus a finalist for the
2013 Marylander of the Year, and when the paper opened
an online poll to allow readers to influence its decision, the
former MICA president received a public outpouring of
support, topping the vote among all finalists.
