The creative community of the MAGIC Center is the heart and soul of our research and development capability, with contributions and interactions from makers and thinkers of many backgrounds and varieties. Our social fabric is combined of four major elements:
-
Faculty Affiliates
(those faculty from throughout the university that have affiliated with the center)
-
Partners
(individuals, organizations, programs or groups that we work with beyond the campus)
-
Initiatives
(broad themes that help drive individual projects and investigations)
-
Students
(who are the core of any enterprise at RIT, and who are working on these and many other projects as they pursue their education and research objectives)
Together, these elements form a rich tapestry of collaboration and multi-disciplinary exploration that is unique to the MAGIC Center, and that flows across the MAGIC Laboratory and MAGIC Spell Studios divisions. That said, not every project, collaboration, or activity will neatly fit into any of these boxes, and above all there is a very healthy dose of creative chaos that permeates everything we do.
