Language Courses at MICA?

I have come upon a new issue to research.

Lately, in my web browsing, I've noticed that a number of colleges in the area who offer art history or fine art as a major or minor recommend that the students take at least 1 to 2 years of another language. As many of you all know, we do not offer such classes at MICA.

Thus, this might be something for the Student Voice Association to look into this year.

For now, I have emailed Jan Stinchcomb and Megan Miller about the matter. Jan has forwarded to my email to Kerr Houston, the head of the Art History Department, and told me that they have considered these classes before.

I will keep you all updated with my findings!

Hey guys!

I just received an email from Karol Martinez and Megan Miller in Student Activities that might be of interest to whichever students are in Baltimore over the summer.  Here's the post, and if you're interested, just pop a message over to the email address provided.  Thanks!

"The Office of Technology Systems and Services (TSS) is conducting a focus group on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 on MICA's e-mail system. This focus group will take place at 4:00 pm in the Art Tech Center conference room and snacks and beverages will be provided. TSS is attempting to determine what policies are most effective for use of the e-mail system and wants to investigate what needs students have that may or may not currently being met by MICA's current e-mail infrastructure. This focus group is limited to a maximum of twelve students on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve your spot in the focus group, please e-mail studentaffairs@mica.edu with your name and phone number. You will receive a confirmation of your spot in the focus group upon receipt of your e-mail.

This focus group is limited to current MICA students and recent May 2008 graduates. All participants will receive a $10 gift certificate to the College store as a thank you for your time."
