Q&A Interview: IU Luddy Indy Media Arts Lecturer Albert William retires after 35 years
By Zachary Aigbe | May 24Albert William, a Media Arts (3D) faculty member at IU Indianapolis began working with IU in 1991 in the School of Medicine, later earning his New Media --- later called Media Arts --- degree in Dec. 2002, and joined then-IUPUI’s School of Informatics --- later called the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering, Indianapolis --- faculty shortly afterward in 2003. His long career spans 35 years with IU Indy, and specifically 23 years within Luddy; his beginnings with the school spanning even further back from his early involvement in the New Media program around its earliest days in 2000 – back when classes were first being offered at the school, as he was a Master’s student at the time. This makes him not only one of the longest-tenured Luddy faculty members, but also one of the last ones from the school’s earliest days as well, including his time as a student there. At the end of the 2025-26 academic year, William retired.
