Special Events

Student Activities coordinates many fun and creative events throughout the year. For a complete list of events, please check out the MICA Web calendar. There are also a number of special events and traditions that take place each year including the events listed below.

 

Orientation for New & Transfer Students

Orientation includes a variety of informative and exciting programs. As a new student, you will meet other students and some of the faculty, learn your way around MICA and Baltimore, and prepare for the first day of classes. New students always find orientation to be very helpful - and a lot of fun! It will make your transition to college life much easier, so, whether you’ll be living on or off campus, you should plan to be at MICA for all of orientation. MICA’s comprehensive orientation program includes registration for classes, lots of food and entertainment, excursions into Baltimore, tours of local museums and attractions, and much, much more!

Halloween Party

Halloween Party

Perhaps the most well-known MICA tradition is the Halloween Party, which attracts nearly 1,000 costumed party-goers annually. The Costume Contest Parade overshadows music and mayhem, where recent winners include a realistic replica of the Mount Royal Station Building on roller skates, and an oversized game of Tetris. This year's Halloween Party will take place on Saturday, October 29 at 8 pm.

Parent and Family Weekend 2009

Parent & Family Weekend

Parent & Family Weekend is a wonderful opportunity to bring families of students to MICA to learn more about the MICA experience. Families are welcome to take part in classes, meet faculty and staff, visit departments, learn about careers in the arts, see student artwork, and learn more about their student’s experience at MICA. The next Parent & Family Weekend takes place on February 10-13, 2012. Families will receive an informational mailing with full details about the event in late December/early January.
