By Mary Fetzer The  College of Information Sciences and Technology  (IST) may be one of Penn State’s youngest units, but it has grown significantly since its founding in 1999. The college recently established its first academic departments, a milestone as it continues to mature and innovate in research and education amid rapid technological change. And now, IST has named three permanent department heads to help lead that charge. “Creating three departments within our college has been one of the most challenging — and important — steps we have taken in our history,” said  Andrea Tapia , dean of the College of IST. “Unlike traditional academic units, we are an inherently interdisciplinary college. Our degrees, programs, student services, advising structures, research initiatives and operational support have always been shared, and that shared model is part of our identity and our strength.” The new departments were designed to provide leadership, mentorship and operational quality without undermining the college’s interdisciplinary culture, according to Tapia. “It is important that we protect and preserve our culture of collaboration and our ability to move quickly as cutting-edge technology and pedagogical innovators,” she said. “We threaded a very fine needle with this change: Create enough structure to support growth and complexity, while maintaining flexibility, responsiveness and a steadfast commitment to avoiding silos.” The new department heads will take charge of their units effective July 1, after serving as interim leaders since July 2025.
