Abstract
The multi-year effort to launch a Game Design major finally culminates in a Fall 2025 program launch. We discuss the many institutional obstacles that we needed to overcome; how the focus on intercollegiate and interdepartmental collaboration brought about institutional change; and how we crafted a Game Design major that leverages the strengths and uniqueness of Iowa State University. We hope to share this experience in dialog with our design peers in a conversation where we exchange ideas on our efforts and learn what others have done at their institutions to enact change for programs and students.
