Kathy Rodriguez is an assistant professor of painting, drawing, design, and art history. In the spring of 2022, she and her Painting II class worked with Keep 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Beautiful to paint a on the side of the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Administration Annex. The mural serves to raise awareness of the threats climate change poses to local bird populations. We took inspiration from the and the National Audubon Society’s report “" in selecting the Pine Warbler as the bird featured. We hope to feature more birds next fall!
Kathy worked tirelessly to see this project to fruition and enabled her students to leave a permanent (and beautiful) mark on their campus. Thank you, Kathy!
