Students in sculpture and 3D design classes will collaborate in the creation of a shared, site-responsive installation in the Sarah Silberman Art Gallery.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;The artist will begin the residency with a public lecture and Q&#38;amp;A, tracing how transformation has shaped his practice, particularly in projects that explore loss, displacement, and the symbolic residue of built environments. Light refreshments will be served.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Amir Hariri was born in Tehran, Iran, and immigrated to the United States to attend college in the early 1990s. After earning a master&#39;s degree in engineering from Cornell University, he spent over a decade working on design projects from concert halls and museums to glass designs for Apple. Amir also spent 5 years studying painting and printmaking at the Art Students League, during which time he served as an assistant instructor and as a member of the board. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, with pieces included in public and private collections in the United States, Italy, Spain, Hong Kong, and Japan. In New York, he has exhibited at various venues, including Atamian Hovsepian Curatorial Practice, St. Thomas Aquinas College, Children&#39;s Museum of Manhattan, Denise Bibro Fine Art, FIT, the Painting Center, PS 122 and Wave Hill. Amir&#39;s work has been written about in publications such as Arte Fuse, Hyperallergic, Pank Magazine, the Woven Tale Press and Whitehot Magazine. Awards include the Museum of Arts and Design, NARS Foundation and Greenwich House Pottery residencies, Smack Mellon &#39;Hot Picks&#39; and the NYFA Fellowship.&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>HaririAmirartisttalk.jpg</rawname><href>attach/ae22e0bd-67a7-e8a4-c195-ac8892419ec6/HaririAmirartisttalk.jpg</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.jpg</rawname><href>attach/ae22e0bd-67a7-e8a4-c195-ac8892419ec6/tn_0.jpg</href></thumbnail><caption>Artist Amir Hariri</caption></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.jpg</rawname><href>attach/ae22e0bd-67a7-e8a4-c195-ac8892419ec6/di_0.jpg</href></display_image><category_name>College News</category_name><featured_story>0</featured_story><show_display_picture>1</show_display_picture><display_order_in_category/>

Advising Day 2026 will bring faculty and staff together to strengthen our shared understanding of student advising, build connections across the College, and expand the network of resources that helps students persist, achieve their goals, and thrive.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;This engaging professional development event will take place on &#60;b&#62;Tuesday, October 20, from 9 a.m.-2 p.m.&#60;/b&#62; &#60;b&#62;in person at all three campuses&#60;/b&#62; and serves as a &#60;b&#62;non-instructional duty day for Academic Affairs and Student Affairs faculty and staff&#60;/b&#62;.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Through interactive workshops, realistic student case studies, coordinated care activities, and student perspectives, participants will strengthen their understanding of the many resources, processes, and partnerships that support student success. Sessions will explore graduation requirements, General Education, academic program pathways, educational planning, transfer and career planning, financial aid processes, accessibility and accommodations, and key compliance considerations. Faculty and staff will also gain greater familiarity with College processes such as appeals, incompletes, and credit for prior learning opportunities.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Attendees will have opportunities to collaborate with colleagues from across MC while building practical skills for advising students. Participants will explore advising tools, including Starfish, Degree Works, and Degree Planner, and learn how these technologies can improve communication, coordination, and care across the student experience. Those who complete the program will have the opportunity to earn MC&#39;s Advising Foundations badge.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Additional details and registration information will be shared soon.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;Join us on October 20 to learn, connect, and strengthen our collective impact on student success together.&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>Inside MC - Advising Day article.docx</rawname><href>attach/2675f8cb-bae9-2e74-0131-5f115c83cf53/Inside MC - Advising Day article.docx</href></file><caption>Building a Collegewide Advising Network:  Advising Day 2026</caption></attached_file></attached_files><display_image/>
