The Institute was founded in 1904 through a bequest from Arioch Wentworth, a Boston merchant, and first opened its doors in 1911. Wentworth has graduated over 50,000 students, who have assumed leadership roles in the professions, industry, education, and government. Wentworth co-op students and graduates are sought after for their demonstrated abilities to quickly become productive members in the workplace, for their technical problem- solving skills, and for their educational preparation to adapt to changing technologies. Wentworth offers baccalaureate programs in a variety of technological and design-related fields in a cooperative education format during the day and in a part-time format through the College of Professional and Continuing Education (CPCE). The CPCE offers courses and programs during the evening and on the weekends for working adults who want to complete their degrees or supplement their skills. The Institute’s practical orientation has made these programs particularly attractive to continuing education students who want to develop the updated skills necessary to advance professionally. The campus is on a thirty-five acre site on Huntington Avenue in the Fenway area of Boston, near the Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall, and the member schools of the Colleges of the Fenway.

    PRESIDENT LEADERSHIP PROFILE 2020 EXECUTIVE SEARCH FIRM TABLE OF CONTENTS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 3 ROLE OF THE PRESIDENT 4 OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR LEADERSHIP 6 PROFESSIONAL QUALIFICATIONS AND PERSONAL QUALITIES 10 ABOUT MASSART 12 PROCEDURE FOR CANDIDACY 20 2 MASSACHUSETTS COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN — PRESIDENT LEADERSHIP PROFILE 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Massachusetts College of Art and Design (MassArt) seeks nominations of, and applications from, exceptional leaders for consideration as candidates for president. In 1873, the Massachusetts Normal School opened its doors in response to the Massachusetts Drawing Act, a progressive 1870 mandate requiring all cities in the Commonwealth of over 10,000 residents to include drawing in their public school curricula (“normal schools” were the precursors to teachers’ colleges). The Industrial Revolution was changing the way the world functioned, and mid-19th Century Bostonians believed that industry wasn’t the only way to build a stronger nation. Art, they felt certain, was also essential to growing a powerful country, a vital economy, and improving and advancing the well-being of citizens. London and Paris - thriving cities with grand museums and galleries - were compelling examples. MassArt has held close to its original mission of providing an inclusive, academically excellent, rigorous curriculum that turns students into practicing professionals in their chosen fields. MassArt is grounded in history, creativity, and foresight. Every era requires vision as part of its progress, and MassArt was founded on a vision of the future that included all citizens in its gaze. Started as a revolutionary idea, MassArt continues to look toward what is extraordinary and cutting-edge — and who will lead the way — in art, design, and education.

  • FY18 Annual Report
    2017-2018 ANNUAL REPORT SIX COLLEGES: ONE COMMUNITY REFLECTIONS ON THE YEAR Transitions always have an impact – some foreseen and welcomed and others are surprises that bring new challenges and perspectives. After 21 years, Colleges of the Fenway was sad to have Wheelock College leave the consortium. As institutions of higher education, we are acutely aware of the challenges facing our sector; as neighbors who have worked together for over two decades, we always want the best possible outcome for each other. The faculty and staff of Wheelock College were strong partners in so many COF initiatives that we will sorely miss the unique input they provided, particularly as an institution focused on families and children, a mission they carried into their approach to their work on all fronts. From being part of the founding of the Center for Sustainability and the Environment and the Global Education Opportunities (GEO)Center, hosting the Muddy River Symposium for 12 years, and having two CFOs who served as COF treasurer during their tenure – we will miss the many wonderful colleagues who have moved to new ventures. Though, we are excited to note that several of them found opportunities within other COF institutions. Transitions also provide an opportunity to re-evaluate and reflect and as this annual report shows, the collaboration between the institutions is strong. Student programs engaged over 11,700 participants and the dance project took 17 student dancers and 6 faculty to the American College Dance Association New England Regional Conference. We launched a new shared Information Security Officer between MassArt and Wentworth Institute of Technology, the third such shared risk management position managed through COF.
