Alumni Profile: John Aquila
John Aquila came to MICA because of Baltimore. Growing up in the suburbs of Cleveland, a city much like Baltimore, he saw it as a place he wanted to help grow and flourish.
Being an orientation leader his sophomore year led him to become involved with admissions and student activities. He probably gave a tour to most of the freshmen on campus. He saw this role as a way to spread his love of the school and Baltimore to those interested in coming to MICA. "Tours were way to share my experiences with prospective students," he said. "MICA is a great asset to Baltimore culturally, and Baltimore is an asset to MICA because of the location and endless opportunities."
