Good morning! Last night the Ringling Rollers Valorant Esports team continued their championship pursuit in the Open Plus East 6 Division as the #8 overall seed against the 29th ranked Cameron University Pickaxes Valorant in the Round of 4. With a comeback and dominating 2-1 overall win, the Ringling Rollers will move on to play University of Wisconsin - Superior Valorant - the 26 seed who moved on by defeating Miami Dade College - Wolfson Valorant Academy. The Pickaxes jumped out to a 1-0 match lead by taking the first match 13-5. The Rollers quickly regrouped and worked on strategy and communication to establish a plan of how to take them down. The Ringling Rollers moved quickly during the match and used their new strategy to eliminate the Pickaxes in the second and third match. This resulted in a domination in the second match, in which the Rollers won 13-3. The Rollers jumped out to a 12-0 lead in the first half and then quickly took the match in the second half. The team was lead by HeyItsFlick in the second match and their amazing performance. They moved into the third leg of the match in a winner takes all with confidence and high level of coordination and communication, which was flowing very well. This showed with a hot start where they jumped out to a 9-3 lead in the first half and ended up winning 13-6 lead by an ace by David (daeyhoon). The Ringling Rollers Valorant team will play UWS - Valorant on April 22nd in the Grand Finale. More information will come out at a later date of streaming and event! Be sure to congratulate our Valorant and Smash team as they both prepare for a Conference Championship in two weeks. Go Rollers!

Dear Ringling College Community, It is with great enthusiasm that I invite you to join me in congratulating Marty Murphy as the incoming Department Head for Game Art and Virtual Reality Development (VRD). Marty will be leading these two distinct departments beginning in the 2025-2026 academic year. His full-time appointment will begin on August 1, 2025, though he has generously agreed to work part-time with the current leadership and faculty on recruitment and retention initiatives for the remainder of this semester. Marty brings an impressive blend of creative, educational, and professional experience to this role. A proud 1992 Ringling graduate with a BFA in Computer Graphics, Marty was among the first adventurous alumni who ventured west to explore career opportunities in Hollywood and later Silicon Valley during the 1990s. His industry career culminated with his role as Director of Art at Midway Games in Chicago, where he expertly led 300 artists across five studios and established eight centralized support teams-strategically enhancing quality while reducing costs. His leadership was instrumental in transitioning the company to Unreal Engine 3, and his creative vision contributed to over 20 published games. Discovering his passion for education along the way, Marty further enhanced his credentials by earning his M.Ed. in Instructional Technology from the University of South Florida in 2018. For the past 15 years, Marty has been an invaluable member of our Ringling College family. As an inaugural faculty member for both Game Art and Virtual Reality Development, he has shaped these programs from their inception, serving as Coordinator for both majors at various points. His dedication and expertise were recognized in 2022 when he was appointed as the Dr. Joel and Gail Morganroth Endowed Department Head for VRD. In this groundbreaking role, Marty has significantly elevated VRD's visibility while collaborating with faculty to create a more transfer-friendly curriculum and establish the popular VRD Minor. Through his forward-thinking approach, he has fostered valuable industry partnerships with SIGGRAPH, XR Women, and Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital-positioning Ringling as a leader in immersive education, particularly in healthcare applications. His initiative in hosting multiple industry events on campus has further cemented our reputation for innovation. As a self-described "Ringling lifer," Marty's commitment to our institution runs deep. Throughout his tenure, he has served on sixteen academic and student-life committees and contributed substantially to institutional and curriculum development initiatives that enhance the student experience. His summers have been equally productive, dedicating 11 of them as Co-Coordinator of Academic Programming for PreCollege. Additionally, having served on more than a dozen critical faculty and senior leadership search committees, Marty has helped shape Ringling's bright future as an art school perennially on the leading edge of creativity and technological innovation. Always looking ahead, Marty works tirelessly to recruit tomorrow's creative talents to our community. He has strengthened valuable connections with secondary schools and student organizations, including TSA, SkillsUSA, and NAEA at regional, state, and national levels-creating pathways for students passionate about art, media, and technology to find their way to Ringling. On a personal note, as a father of six who is rapidly becoming an empty nester, Marty finds this the perfect time to embrace this expanded leadership role. When not on campus, you'll likely find him in the kitchen preparing meals for family and friends. While he modestly claims he may not be a great cook, his willingness and well-stocked pantry make him a cherished host. Embracing sustainability and reflection, Marty is a regular bus commuter to campus-a practice he values for the time it provides to reflect, catch up on emails, and capture moments of creative inspiration. This daily ritual will soon become even more special as he'll be joined by his youngest daughter, who plans to attend Ringling's Illustration program this fall. Together, they share a passion for the art of thrifting and discovering secondhand treasures. I want to extend my sincere thanks to Jeff Schwartz for his dedicated leadership as the Interim Department Head for Game Art for the past two years, and to Ryland Loncharich, our Faculty Coordinator for Game Art. These two individuals will continue to lead the department through the close of the academic year. Please join me in welcoming Marty to this important role as he continues to advance our programs and inspire our students! Sincerely, Tiffany Holmes
