courses from two existing programs: Electronic Media & Film Studies and Journalism. The program was designed to cross train students to understand and operate in both print and video reporting, while reducing redundancies for students who major in one program and minor in the other. Within the degree’s curriculum, students learn about appropriate platforms for information dissemination and how to design and produce content using multiple platforms for print, audio, video, social media and digital applications. The program provides skills-based training that incorporates critical and conceptual learning, pre-professional and practical training, community-based learning and academic service learning. Entertainment Degree In 2013, a new academic program for students seeking careers in the entertainment industry was approved, allowing students to major or minor in entertainment design and technology under EMU’s communications department. Information Assurance Program EMU launched its Information Assurance program for students in 2014, which provided education in scientific, technical and management disciplines for computer and network safety. Campus Renovations From 2010-2013, Martin oversaw more than $130 million invested into building renovations at EMU, this among the $210 million earmarked in a five-year revitalization of the campus. Pray-Harrold Renovation Martin initiated the renovation of the Pray-Harrold building in 2009, the busiest and largest (at 237,108 square feet) classroom building on Eastern’s campus, which accommodates 10,000 students and 300 faculty. The state of Michigan supplied $31.5 million of the $42 million cost of the project, which took 16 months, concluding in September 2011. All of the offices and classrooms were moved from the building to other campus locations rather than using a phased construction plan, resulting in a $3 million dollar savings and reduced construction time. The renovation included a glassed-in commons area, improved seating in auditoriums and classrooms, green features, upgraded mechanical and electrical systems. Fire safety systems, heating and cooling systems and data lines also were updated or replaced. The 2009-2011 renovation is the first time the building received updates since it was built in 1969, when it was the largest classroom building in Michigan. EMU Science Complex During Martin’s presidency, the university undertook the single largest construction project in its history. In December 2010, a $90 million science complex upgrade was unveiled, featuring a spherical planetarium suspended five stories above an open atrium area in an 80,000 square-foot laboratory, classroom and office addition to the campus’ Mark Jefferson Science Building. The project was launched to help EMU meet national
