Student Art Work Promotes Visit by Dr. Temple Grandin

Picture
     In the spring quarter, art student Nick Hobbs worked with Dr. Julie Rutledge, Director of the ENRICH center to create materials for use in advertising the visit of Dr. Temple Grandin to Louisiana Tech University.  Ben used his digital painting skills developed in ART 320 to create an image that depicted the impact Dr. Grandin has had on children and agriculture. Known for her work in animal science with cattle and other livestock, Dr. Grandin is also recognized for her advocacy and work in the area of autism.  Dr. Grandin will visit Louisiana Tech on December 6. For more information visit the ENRICH center.
     "Throughout her life, Grandin has used her first-hand experience as a person with autism to color her interaction with animals and her research into their behavior. Her story connects the two disciplines and allows those who work with animals to learn from those who work with special-needs children and adults – and vice versa.  In 2010, HBO made a film about Grandin. Her knack for “thinking in pictures” – a phrase made popular in the HBO film and in one of her many books – has allowed her to connect with animals in ways most people never could. Her unique ability has completely altered the way we view livestock and the way we treat them." - LA Tech News
     ​Dr. Temple Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, consultant to the livestock industry on animal behavior, and autism spokesperson will speak at 7 p.m. Dec. 6 in Howard Auditorium on the Louisiana Tech University campus.
