History
Creation
Emersive was founded by new media majors Jeremiah Cohick (2007) and Landon Medieros (2005). What started as a concept over Thanksgiving Break 2003 led to Emerson College’s first Student Government Association recognized student organization for new media in Spring 2005.
Cohick and Medieros shared a common concern for new media majors at Emerson College. Some students felt a disparity between the Visual & Media Arts Department’s offerings to new media students and other concentrations. A motivating factor in forming Emerson was the opportunity to provide advanced training, equipment, and theorhetical examination.
Prior to Emersive’s recognition by the Student Government Association in Spring 2005, new media was the only production concentration at Emerson College without a recognized student organization. While the organization is small, it aspires to be an elite collaboration for the campus’s most advanced digital media projects.
