The Founders Green staff works along with student leaders on the MICA campus to provide a dynamic living and learning community of artists. Programs and educational opportunities provide a myriad of experiences for a complete education — from teaching life skills to broadening the minds of students on social issues, to providing a complement to the new student experience. Students will find that living on campus is enriching for their overall learning experience at MICA. Our staff provides a safe and inclusive environment where learning, creating and growing are things that happen inside our community of amazing resident artists. Staffing for the complex includes two live-in residential coordinators, one graduate assistant for residence life, 14 residential advisors, the 24-hour front desk, and the Office of Residence Life and Off-Campus Housing.
