Interdisciplinary Computational Media Program Welcomes New Director

The College of Computing and the School of Literature, Media, and Communication (LMC) have appointed Associate Professor Lynn Dombrowski as the new director of the Computational Media (CM) program.

CM is an interdisciplinary Bachelor of Science degree offered jointly by the two schools that prepares students to plan, create, and critique new digital media forms. Students develop skills across technical, historical-critical, and applied areas.

As the director, Dombrowski oversees the program, shaping its curriculum and supporting the success of both students and the program. She will lead monthly curriculum committee meetings, coordinate degree changes, support accreditation efforts, and work closely with advisors and administrators across both schools to ensure a smooth educational experience.

She said she is excited to meet Georgia Tech’s nearly 300 CM majors. “I’m looking forward to meeting all of our students through class visits and events to learn more about their plans and visions for the program.”

Dombrowski, an associate professor in the School of Interactive Computing, will serve a three-year term in her capacity as director of CM and report jointly to Olufisayo Omojokun, associate dean for undergraduate education in the College of Computing, and LMC Chair Kelly Ritter. The directorship rotates between the two schools, with the previous director, Jay Bolter, hailing from LMC.
