From our campus to your screen, the Arts-Based Collaborative here at UTC - abc@utc - works with teaching artists in the Chattanooga area to create educational content for children.

One example is “Raise Your Hand” - the flagship program of the EDUCATE channel from our public media partner WTCI PBS, where Robyn Stringfellow is manager of educational content and services.
