Here at MICA we want all students to know that they are a vital part of the community with much to contribute as artists and individuals. Our hope is that all students have positive experiences that will support them in the creation of their work. However, we understand that sometimes things happen that may make adjusting to college a stressful transition impacting academics, health, and wellness.

Center for Identity and Inclusion (CII)

CII is based on a philosophy of inclusion and fostering recognition and respect for the voices of all students:

• issues regarding culture, class, race, gender, sexuality, identity, religion and more

• safe spaces for me to bring my issues, address my concerns, and obtain direction, information, referrals and mentoring

• history months, exhibitions, performances, and workshops that explore personal and cultural identity

• joining an identity based student organization

The safety of all students, faculty and staff is a commitment MICA Campus Safety makes to the community by providing officers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Campus Safety officers patrol campus, and are stationed at the entrances of most MICA buildings. In addition to building and campus patrols, they:

• Send out MICA Alerts via text message

• Respond to incidents on and around campus

• Provide resources to report crime and suspicious behavior. 

• Offer access to Rave Guardian - a cellphone based panic button app.
