History
The School of Interactive Computing was formed in February 2007, when the former Interactive & Intelligent Computing Division was renamed and promoted to "School" status. Aaron Bobick was appointed as the school's first chair. Along with its sibling academic unit, the School of Computer Science, the School of Interactive Computing represents the first time a college-level computing program has delineated the field into separate but related bodies of study. In July 2012, Annie Antón, formerly at North Carolina State University, replaced Bobick as school chair.

“The history of the world is none other than the progress of the consciousness of freedom.”
