November Town Hall

Hello everyone,

It's that time again...

Our special guest for the November Town Hall is Lisa Wise from Re:Loom.

Lisa Wise is Executive Director of Initiative for Affordable Housing, Inc, a non-profit that provides housing and support services to homeless and low-income families. Since becoming Executive Director of Initiative in 1992, the nonprofit has grown from serving a single homeless family into a multi-faceted agency with a full service homeless program serving upwards of 35 families annually, 355 units of affordable housing and a job training/employmentprogram - re:loom weaving a better life.

The rug featured in this photo was handwoven using UPS upcycled uniforms.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.


Nondiscrimination Policy

MCAD admits students of any race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, age, or marital status to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, or marital status in the administration of its educational policies, scholarship and loan programs, and other school-administered programs.
