🗣 We have a *game-changing* announcement to make. 💻🎮🪡
The Art + Design Department in the NC State College of Design will now be known by a new name, the Department of Media Arts, Design and Technology, affectionately known as MADTech.
This new departmental name change helps communicate the curricular offerings, faculty expertise, and careers that stem from the department.
Students in the Department of Media Arts, Design and Technology can pursue tracks in gaming and interaction design, animation, and fiber arts.
For several years, faculty have instructed students on the principles of media arts, design and technology and their relevant applications in society.
Courses like ADN 311: Creative Coding introduce computer programming to students, allowing them to move beyond the development of purely aesthetic designs to projects that are technically and intellectually forward.
Further, this shift highlights what those in the program have always known – this isn’t a fine-arts based program.
This departmental name shift hopes to realign prospective students and faculty with programmatic offerings and prepare graduates for successful careers in the media industry.

Abby Scheer is a 2022 graduate of NC State’s Master of Industrial Design program, and is evangelizing women’s health.
Her final project as a student became the blueprint for her startup company, Cervu, which designs products for female cancer survivors who suffer from pelvic floor pain during intercourse – also known as dyspareunia.
Cervu is currently in development of Nozomi, a pelvic floor massager and app that provides exercise education, collaborative therapy customization with pelvic floor physical therapists, and progress tracking. Scheer has also been awarded Gold in the Student Category for the IDSA IDEA 2022 Awards.

For years, The Church of San Ignacio sat empty in Bogotá’s historic district of La Candelaria as it underwent an extensive restoration process.
Now, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Julie K. Wesp, and Assistant Professor of Media Arts, Design and Technology (MADTech), Justin Johnson are working together as part of an interdisciplinary effort between the College of Design and NC State’s College of Humanities and Social Sciences (@ncstatechass) to bring the iconic church into classrooms all over the globe.
The Jesuit church is widely considered to be one of Colombia’s most celebrated monuments and is styled with a combination of primarily Italian Renaissance and Baroque elements. Its initial construction began in 1610 and ended over 80 years later in 1691.

Alumna Dare Coulter [ADN '15] was recently recognized during an interview in School Library Journal with Kwame Alexander on her work as the illustrator for his new book "An American Story."
"She did something I was not expecting with this book. She made it hers."
The powerful picture book tells the story of American slavery through the voice of a teacher struggling to help her students understand its harrowing history. Read the full interview at the link in our bio.
Alexander and Coulter will be at Quail Ridge Books on January 5 at 6:30 pm.
