Minneapolis College of Art and Design Names New President

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design has hired artist, curator and university administrator Sanjit Sethi to serve as its next president. Sethi, who now leads George Washington University's Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, will take over the 800-student private nonprofit Minneapolis institution in July. The college said a key goal for Sethi will be to make the campus more diverse and inclusive at a time of record enrollment. He said empathy born out of engagement with a range of perspectives is deeply tied to creativity and innovation.
