Dear Parents:
MassArt is dedicated to improving communication between parents and the college,
and to supporting resource development for students and their families. The
MassArt Parents' Association is a growing network of parents who wish to stay
informed about news, activities and other issues that affect parents and their
children attending MassArt.
Contact Richard MacMillan at the Institutional Advancement Office with your
questions or for information about joining the network of families in the MassArt
Parents Association. Call (617) 879-7045, or send an email to: rmacmillan@massart.edu.
We hope to satisfy your curiosity about the college with some improved communication
methods. Currently, we are updating and consolidating our online communications
for our supporters and friends of MassArt.
Each month Alumni, Parents and Friends of the college can receive the monthly
electronic newsletter called e-Connection. The information contained
in this newsletter is dynamically generated from the current information contained
in our new Alumni Online Community and e-mailed on the first Tuesday of every
month. (The Online Community is an interactive website that allows alumni to
connect with each other as well as keep us up to date on their lives.)
If you are not currently receiving e-Connection, please send your e-mail to
Monica Serianni in the Alumni Relations Office at mserianni@massart.edu.
You can also access this information anytime throughout the month by clicking
on: http://alumni.massart.edu/parentspage.
During the 2006- 2007 academic year, our plans are to expand the online community
to provide separate areas for parents and families, faculty, undergraduates
and other friends. As the year progresses, we hope to offer you greater access
to a number of exciting features that the online community has to offer, as
well as specific information that is important to you as a parent or a family
member.
In the meantime, to read about current news and events that are taking place
