ILEAD: Office Assistant, Summer Intensive Pre-College

Office Assistant for MICA's Pre College Art and Design Program

MICA's summer Pre College Summer Intensive Program is a 2-4 week intensive college-level experience designed to help participants make the leap from thinking like a high school art student to thinking like an artist making art that reflects a new level of skill and personal vision, communicating ideas about art in daily critiques, and building a professional portfolio of work. Pre College is designed for rising juniors and seniors.

In conjunction with MICA's Mission and Vision, our program provides a welcoming environment for all, and values students of all races and ethnicities, sexual orientations and expressions, creative abilities, religious faiths, political affiliations, and socio-economic backgrounds. Office Assistants assist all logistical components of the program, serve in a supervisory role to Pre College students, model and facilitate a healthy, welcoming community.
