Spring is here!
The weather in the ICAA membership region may be fickle for the next few weeks but being officially over the seasonal threshold brings much needed hope and optimism. As you crush days of giving and strategize spring reunion programming, we wish you and your campus communities the best – whether you are back in the office or still working remotely.
We’re excited to announce our summer conference in this issue as well as continue to spotlight ICAA member institutions with new and innovative approaches to programming in the COVID-19 era. Interested in being featured next month? Email Lisa Judge at ljudge@bw.edu with details.

Engagement Spotlight
University of Findlay’s “Mazza Artist Monthly”
The University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum is home to more than 16,000 pieces of artwork from picture books, making it the largest and most diverse collection of picture book art in the world. At the beginning of lockdown in spring 2020, UF developed a weekly “Mazza Artist Monthly” program, a free Zoom webinar including an author/illustrator talk and draw-along with museum staff and a different featured artist each week.
The series continues today in a format called “Mazza Artist Monthly” that has expanded to include the illustrator and author of the book featured in the virtual talk. Those who register for the webinar can ask questions throughout and participate in a “draw along” with the illustrator.
Congratulations to UF on making the most of a unique and inspiring campus asset to engage alumni and friends!
Send us your innovative program! Email ljudge@bw.edu with a description and photo of your program.

Mark your calendars for Summer Conference 2021! We’d rather be meeting in person, but to ensure the most accessibility for our members, we are sticking to a virtual format this year. This won’t be your average virtual conference, though! Get ready to engage with colleagues in individual sessions, network based on area of interest and tenure, and socialize with your ICAA friends. Your Summer Conference Committee has taken careful notes of what works and what doesn’t for virtual sessions and looks forward to packaging only the best experience for you.
More info on registration coming soon. Update your individual account on the ICAA member website (myicaa.org) to make sure you don’t miss upcoming emails.
