MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Approaching 30, Marie McCord finds herself a nontraditional student about to graduate from MTSU in May — and mapping out the next chapters of her life.
McCord, one of 60 students participating in the seventh annual HackMT Jan. 28-30 in the Science Building, has spent the past three years commuting from her Antioch, Tennessee, home to Murfreesboro, where she’s a computer science major, with minors in math and statistics.

MTSU HackMT goes virtual this year for computer-savvy college students Jan 27, 2021 at 07:00 am by WGNS
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. When a tired bunch of college students and several dozen other participants wrapped up the fifth annual MTSU computer science HackMT with the rousing awards ceremony before heading home in January 2020, no one had any idea Year 6 would be held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But that’s the reality of the situation and the event Friday through Sunday, Jan. 29-31, as HackMT organizers want to keep the popular hackathon running and in a safe environment, and not canceled as so many events of all types have fared since last March.
