External Partner Inquiry Form

About Your Organization

Thank you for your interest in partnering with MICA. This form helps us learn about your organization, the opportunity or challenge you would like to explore, and what you hope to gain from working with MICA students and faculty.

Partnerships may begin with a specific MICA faculty member or course, or through the D+I Hub as we explore potential opportunities together.

It takes approximately 10 minutes to complete. A member of the Design + Innovation Hub will follow up to learn more and discuss potential next steps.
