Dear MASP Family and Friends,

Happy Autumn!

MASP has had a great start to the new school year. Fall is an exciting time as we welcome the new cohort into the larger community, catch up with returning students on summer adventures, and prioritize our initiatives for the upcoming year. This year we are excited to announce that we will conduct a job search for an additional Assistant Director who will join the MASP faculty starting in the 2020-2021 academic year. We are also currently collaborating closely with the Office of Advancement on a sizeable fundraising initiative to increase funding for current MASP students, expand resources to a larger number of Arts & Sciences students, and generate support for an updated community space. Thank you for your continued support of MASP. Don’t forget, we’d love to hear from you!

We appreciate your support and look forward to updating you on our efforts throughout this year! I encourage you to keep reading to hear more about current events at MASP. 

Don’t forget, we’d love to hear from you!

Sincerely,


Celeste Montoya
Faculty Director, Miramontes Arts & Sciences Program
