Seminar about new machine learning research consulting service Sept. 22
Tennessee Tech’s College of Engineering is now offering a consulting service for campus departments in need of machine learning research guidance.
An informational seminar will be held Sept. 22 at 11 a.m. at Bruner Hall 228.
“I’m truly excited about this,” said computer science Ph.D. student Katie Brown, who has taken on the role of machine learning research consultant. “I’m getting to learn what other people are doing across campus with machine learning. I get to mentor and help.”
Brown is available Monday-Wednesday, 8-11 a.m., at Bruner Hall 236. Appointment requests may be made here: https://www.tntech.edu/engineering/programs/csc/mlrc.php
Computer science professor William Eberle said the need for the machine learning research consulting service arose from the numerous requests for assistance that came to the computer science department from throughout the university.
“We’ve been fielding questions for a while from students and faculty who have needed help with machine learning, data mining, AI and high-level umbrella tasks,” he said.
“Katie is here to help with research efforts going on in the university – that’s the primary focus. Faculty members can come and talk to her, and students who are working with faculty members can come and talk to her.”

Child Life Student Receives Volunteer Award
This year’s Frist Humanitarian Award Volunteer
winner is Hanna Lewis. Hanna is a Child Life
Volunteer at TriStar Centennial Women’s and
Children’s Hospital. For the last two years, she has
extended her vibrant spirit and compassion to
patients and families through the hospital. Hanna
began volunteering at the start of the COVID
pandemic. She organized the first Teddy Bear Clinic,
participated in holiday parades outside the hospital,
and added valuable content to our YouTube channel
to provide activities for the children. A very special
story I wish to share is a patient missed an important
football game due to treatment. Hanna immediately
sprang into action. She coordinated three Titans
football players to spend the day with this patient to
support him and give him a wonderful day. Thank you
Hanna for caring for our patients with passion and
dedication. We are honored you choose to volunteer
here at Centennial. Congratulations for being our
2022 Frist Humanitarian Award Volunteer Winner. -
Students Voices Needed for Panel
Today’s students increasingly face challenges to their learning, including mental pressure, financial burdens, and visible and invisible disabilities, which disrupt the traditional role of the student.

If you would like to participate with a panel of peers to discuss your relationships with teachers and what can be done to improve it, please fill out this survey.
