Bobby Dodd, longtime football coach for the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) in Atlanta, is one of only three people (along with Amos Alonzo Stagg and Bowden Wyatt) to be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as both a player and a coach. Robert Lee Dodd was born on November 11, 1908, in Galax, Virginia, to Edwin Dodd and Susan Viola Nuckolls. When Dodd was eleven years old, his family moved to Kingsport, Tennessee, where he graduated from Dobyns Bennett High School before enrolling at the University of Tennessee (UT) at Knoxville.

Brenau University Galleries, located on the campus of Brenau University in Gainesville, feature one of the finest university art collections held by an educational institution in the state of Georgia. Until 1985, when John S. Burd became president of the university, Brenau lacked a designated art gallery; student and faculty work was displayed in various buildings across the campus. Burd, recognizing the need for a gallery, converted a small chapel outside the balcony of the university’s Pearce Auditorium into the Presidents Gallery.
