As director of Arizona State University’s School of Arts, Media and Engineering in the Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts, I have the opportunity to introduce our donors to the cutting-edge work being done by our students and faculty in advancing human expression through advanced technologies. These technologies include video games, artificial intelligence, wearable technology, virtual reality and more. We are one of the only transdisciplinary programs of this nature in the United States, with research and curriculum that intersects with multiple schools across ASU, including Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Design, Art and Music, Dance and Theatre. Our school prides itself on creating one of the most flexible curricular paths for students, allowing them to enter a wide array of careers like technologists, entrepreneurs, performers and designers. We believe that a technologically advanced workforce can be created with far fewer barriers to education and training than is currently considered possible, and we appreciate your interest in sharing our vision.
– Pavan Turaga, director
