There are a variety of ways in which students can get involved on campus.
Student Party is MIAD’s equivalent of Student Government. It meets weekly on Wednesdays during the Common Hour (11 – 12:30 p.m.) in Room 399A. Student Party helps with MIAD traditions like the annual AIDS Walk WI, Blood Drives, the MIAD Halloween Party, the annual Talent Show and Health Heelers.
There also are several active student groups on campus:
Adventure Club
Ambrosia Designs
Anime Club
ASID (American Society of Interior Designers)
Billiards Club
Dungeons & Dragons
Film Club
Gradients
GSA (Genders and Sexualities Alliance)
IDSA (Industrial Designers Society of America)
InterVarsity
ISO (Photography)
Magic: The Gathering
MIAD Print Club
Swim Team (Curatorial)
Video Game Club
If a student is interested in creating a student group that doesn’t currently exist, they should contact Student Party (studentparty@miad.edu).
Another organization on campus, Alpha Lambda Delta (ALD), is open to freshmen students who met or exceeded a 3.5 GPA in their first semester at MIAD. ALD fosters academic achievement and learning through thought, design and expression, and believes every person can lead, learn and design with a purpose greater than self to change the world.
Should your student become a member of this prestigious honors society, they will be provided the opportunity to compete for scholarships and fellowships awarded by National Alpha Lambda Delta.
We encourage you and your student to interact with us on Monday, January 15th, 2018 for the National Day of Service in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Invites will be shared with your student.
Additionally, there will be an ALD initiation ceremony held in Spring 2018 for new members and their families.
