INSTITUTE FOR NEW MEDIA STUDIES
The Institute for New Media Studies at Fort Hays State University is home to the most exciting research lab on campus. We are a transdisciplinary program leveraging advanced technologies and methods. We investigate the intersection of culture, education, and technology through a lens of disruption and convergence. Our faculty and students study in various areas, including virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence, video games, television and multimedia production, web and mobile applications, computer vision, lasers, 3D printing, and data literacy. The work we do isn’t just creative; it’s also practical. Some of our goals include providing students and faculty the resources to develop nationally competitive research, promoting entrepreneurship in Kansas, profiting from intellectual properties in the economy of ideas, and procuring advanced research opportunities through external funding. Contributing to the institute is a unique opportunity. You will directly impact students’ learning opportunities and ability to afford graduate studies. At the same time, you will enhance the university’s research capabilities, international reputation, and the connection between the campus and the business community. Every dollar of your gift will be directly used by students in the form of scholarships, cutting-edge equipment, our new Virtual Reality Lab, and professional experiences to advance their careers and lives. Most importantly, we never require a student to pay for any of the resources in our institute because cost should never be a barrier to learning in Tiger Nation. We are where you come to start a business. We are where you come to invent the next big thing. We are where you come to be the first in your family to experience research as a college student. We are the Institute for New Media Studies!
