Coding for a cause: Computer science students launch website for nonprofit
During their final semester at Tennessee Tech, three computer science students turned their skills into a passion project: Building a medical outreach website for the Bridge of Aspirations Foundation. Their goal? To help people with neurological and spinal cord injuries.
No grade . No academic credit. Just impact.
“We wanted to help support medical care in underserved communities while also gaining experience outside of our classes,” Thomas Robertson said.

Steam Outage – December 18, 2025
Please be prepared for a steam outage on Thursday, 12/18, by dressing for potentially cooler indoor temperatures. Facilities is in the process of repairing the main steam/condensate line at Manhole #1 (across from steam plant). While we hope to return this manhole to service shortly, to ensure that the steam leak at Crawford Hall (Manhole #5) is repaired before the Christmas break, a steam outage this Thursday is required that will impact most buildings on campus. Thursday is the warmest day of the week, and after speaking with Res Life and Dining Services, it is also the least impactful day for a steam shut down on campus.
We speculate that a gasket has failed in manhole #5, a fairly routine repair, but getting the manhole and piping cool enough to work with will take some time. Please note that if we are able to complete the repair to steam manhole #1 before Thursday, this outage will be cancelled.
