MAGIC would not be possible without the sustained and welcome efforts of the faculty, staff, and students of the School of Interactive Games & Media (IGM). IGM is the initial unit out of which MAGIC was born, and it is the unprecedented success and established excellence in IGM that acted in part as the precursor to this new, more broadly encompassing initiative. MAGIC is exceedingly grateful to the School, and the B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing & Information Sciences in which it is housed, for its initial and sustained support of our efforts, the scholarly and creative contributions of the IGM faculty, and the engagement of IGM and GCCIS staff in enabling many of our activities.
