Alumnus Gabriel Ramos ’25 (Graphic Design BFA) always wanted a way to bring together MICA and his employer, the Baltimore Orioles. His recommendation led to the students in Hope Simpara's Garment Design and Production class collaborating with the Baltimore Orioles on a new outfit for Mama Bird to wear on Mother’s Day. Sophomore Angel Forsyth's (General Fine Arts BFA) design was chosen and other members of the class contributed to the design.
