Ken Dippong, Director of Academic Advisingkdippong@mica.eduKen joined the MICA community in 2011 after working for his alma mater (where he earned a BA in English and a MED in Adult Learning and Development), Cleveland State University, for 15 years. In addition to his many years in the advising profession, he has worked in both admissions and registrar fields; these experiences have deepened his knowledge of, and appreciation for, the student's entire life cycle (and its myriad challenges). Ken's journey to MICA was inspired by a profound interest in working with art and design students, and his belief in their boundless potential as agents of social and cultural change. When he's not answering email, Ken is known to pen the occasional play, poem, or imagined letter to the editor. Click here to make an appointment with Ken! |
