Middle Tennessee State University

Middle Tennessee State University Computer Science and Data Science students were not only creating games and dabbling with virtual reality and artificial intelligence at this year's HackMT event, but also networking and establishing relationships with, hopefully, potential employers. Joined by representatives from industry partners, MTSU students on 10 teams spent 36 nonstop hours creating apps and more during the annual HackMT and project expo in the MTSU Science Building Sunday, Jan. 29. The marathon hackathon gathers software developers, visual designers, programmers and computer/data science students from MTSU and professionals from local industry to form teams to invent new web platforms, mobile apps and electronic gadgets during the weekend. Scholarships and awards were presented at the conclusion of the event, and participating teams were recognized. Go to https://mtsunews.com/mtsu-hackmt-wrapup-2023/ for the full story.

MTSU doctoral student Yolunda Nabors was recently named the university's first Tennessee Doctoral Scholar. Now in her final year of the Ph.D. in Economics Program, the award covers Nabors' tuition and provides her with a $20,000 stipend plus additional funds for research and professional development. The Tennessee Higher Education Commision designed the Tennessee Doctoral Scholar program to "increase the number of minority students who earn a Ph.D. in Tennessee and to encourage these graduates to seek faculty positions by providing financial assistance for up to three years of graduate study," according to the program's website.
