Message from the Dean

Dean Tracy Sulkin

Over the past several years, the College of Media has prioritized facility upgrades in venerable Gregory Hall, and our generous donors have been essential partners in these efforts.

Most recently, we celebrated a transformative $2.5M gift from Richard and Leslie Frank to enable a substantial renovation of the lower level of Greg Hall, including the creation of a high-tech multipurpose classroom and a notable refresh of the main corridor. We are excited for construction to get underway in summer 2025.

This work will complete the overhaul of the College’s instructional spaces on the lower level, which also included a $1M investment from campus capital project funds and the College of Media to renovate a computer lab and create a new iFlex classroom and a production space. All of these opened for business in 2020, and were joined in 2022 by the Media Technology Center for students, supported by a significant contribution from Jim and Amy Schlueter.

But wait, there’s more! Thanks to a substantial investment from the Office of the Provost, we are wrapping up several other projects in Greg Hall. The largest is a brand-new office suite on the main floor that will serve as the administrative home for our three academic departments. In addition, we have made technological upgrades to our two conference rooms and have also created a new event space on the second floor, overlooking Wright and Armory, where College of Media units can hold gatherings of up to 30 people for faculty meetings, visiting guest lectures, workshops for students, recruitment events, and more.

We are so thankful to our alumni and friends for all the ways you invest in the future of the College of Media. Together, we are creating initiatives that will have a long-lasting impact.
