Alumni and Friends

Welcome

Since 1894, the College has welcomed students and friends onto our campus to take classes, enjoy performances and watch sports. Today as alumni and friends you are part of a dynamic network. The MCLA Alumni Association has more than 18,000 members, the alumni of MCLA and our predecessor institutions:  North Adams Normal School; State Teachers College at North Adams; State College of North Adams; and North Adams State College.

There are myriad ways you can take advantage of the resources, presentations, classes and collaborations we offer. Attend an event in our MCLA Presents! series, where we bring together local and international artists and performers to share the stage. Take a lifelong learning class. Wherever you may be - whether a walk across the street or a drive down the pike - please come visit.

We invite you to learn more about the Office of Institutional Advancement by calling (888) 677-MCLA.
