Make a Splash detailTech alumnus and senior designer at Professional Education, Bobby Strickland, has beautifully demonstrated that even at a technology powerhouse, art has a profound role to play. When confronted with tragedy, a grieving community found relief by creating
a painting.
He came up with the idea for the Make a Splash collaborative art project following the death of Scout Schultz, a Tech student and campus leader. Strickland felt a strong need to do something meaningful for the community that has been central to his life for decades. With support from the Division of Student Life and Office of the Arts, he set up his paint and canvases and invited students and their families to create art on Oct. 28, 2017, during Family Weekend.
