President nhoffman@miad.edu It's been over a year since I applied to be accepted at MIAD. Even though
one would think that applying to be the president of MIAD is distinctly
different than applying to be a student, I contend that the reasons are
quite similar.
 Neil Hoffman The outstanding reputation of the college, long known to me during my
career as a college president and arts education advocate, and the success
of its alumni make participation in the MIAD educational experience
extraordinarily compelling.
The college's obvious strength is the high quality of the student body and
its faculty and staff. Quality at MIAD means more than just awe-inspiring
skill and talent. It is about fostering the individual student's voice,
and celebrating the creation of messages through student work that are as
diverse as the student body itself.
What is not readily apparent, though, is one of the most important yet
intangible factors about MIAD – the college community. It is a unique
balance of exciting challenge and personal support.
Consider joining me as a participant in this experience, whether as a
student or a believer who wants to learn more about the power of the
creative voices that are MIAD.
I look forward to meeting you.
