The School of Media and Journalism at ºÚÁÏÍø is saddened at the unexpected death of our alumnus, adjunct instructor and friend Bobby Makar.
Bobby was a graduate of our B.S. and M.A. programs in Digital Media Production (DMP). As MDJ Assistant Professor Scott Hallgren has noted, Bobby “was deeply beloved by DMP students, and was the cheerful glue that helped the program grow to where it is now.â€
Bobby was an important part of the MDJ community and we are grateful for the years of joy and service he provided all of us. As we mourn Bobby’s loss we are inspired by his passion for the arts and his joy in sharing that passion with others.
