Executive Memorandum 24-013 March 8, 2024

From: Stephen Perez, President

Subject: Approval of the School of Media, Entertainment, Technology, and Immersive Experiences (METX)

Upon the recommendation of the Academic Senate and with the concurrence of the Provost, I approve the following reorganization within the College of Communication and Education.

  • Changing the name of the School of Communication to the School of Media, Entertainment, Technology, and Immersive Experiences with a new abbreviation of METX.  Currently the School of Communication includes the Department of Journalism and Public Relations (JOUR), Department of Media Arts, Design, and Technology (MADT), and the Communication Arts and Sciences Department (CMSD & CMST).  The Communication Arts and Sciences Department will not be included in the newly-named School of METX.
  • The Computer Animation and Game Development program within the College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Construction Management, will be transferred into the School of METX and the College of Communication and Education.
  • This reorganization will be effective July 1, 2024.
