A lot of great things happened at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga during the 2025 calendar year. We celebrated student and faculty research, welcomed new faces (including Chancellor Lori Bruce), broke ground on new buildings and commemorated big wins.<\/p>\n

With so much happening across campus, the UTC newsroom published 427 stories over the course of the year.<\/p>\n

Here are our top 20 favorites in chronological order of website publication.<\/p>\n

Katelyn Hamilton describes making coffee as a \u201creally big science experiment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s what I tell everyone when I have this conversation about making coffee: You have to weigh everything. You have to measure the temperature of everything. You have ratios. Everything has to be on point to make a good cup of coffee.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hamilton, a junior chemical engineering major at UTC, has transformed a high school coffee shop job into the center of her academic and career goals.<\/p>\n

Int<\/span>ro<\/span>d<\/span>ucing the Violence Reduction Initiative: How research is reshaping criminal justice in Chattanooga<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n

For more than a decade as a police officer in Northwest Missouri, Dr. Rick Dierenfeldt patrolled neighborhoods plagued by poverty and violence\u2014often finding himself more mentor than lawman.<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of these kids lacked a positive male role model,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe minute they had someone in their life they didn\u2019t want to disappoint, the cycle of crime often stopped.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not rocket science. It\u2019s about treating people with decency and respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today, as a UC Foundation associate professor and head of the Department of Criminal Justice at UTC, Dierenfeldt has brought that same philosophy to academia. It is the cornerstone of the Violence Reduction Initiative (VRI)\u2014a research center he spearheaded to address violent crime in Chattanooga and beyond.<\/p>\n

Gage Keeble\u2019s college experience is anything but conventional.<\/p>\n

A junior at UTC, the 21-year-old is pursuing bachelor\u2019s degrees in both marketing: professional sales and finance while juggling roles as an entrepreneur, a chief analyst for the SMILE Fund and a member of the inaugural cohort of Phillips Scholars in Free Enterprise.<\/p>\n

Keeble\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit took flight in the fall of 2023 when he launched Scenic Shine Window Cleaning, a business he started with a $200 investment in supplies. What began as a one-week experiment to see if he could make money quickly became a successful enterprise.<\/p>\n

Mark Horlu, a graduate student at UTC studying applied mathematics, has always been passionate about the subject.<\/p>\n

When Horlu taught in his hometown of Have, Ghana, he always tried to make math relatable to his students.<\/p>\n

For many, math may seem \u201cboring\u201d or hard to comprehend. Horlu wanted to change the perception of math and show his students that math is a tool that helps explain how the world works\u2014and isn\u2019t so hard.<\/p>\n

While completing his undergraduate degree in mathematics with a focus on economics at the University of Cape Coast in Ghana, Horlu would return to his elementary school students during breaks to tutor them and improve their math skills.<\/p>\n

Faculty, students, alumni and Chattanooga community members packed outside of McKenzie Arena to welcome home the newly crowned NIT champions.<\/p>\n

The UTC men\u2019s basketball team made history the night before at Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, becoming the first Southern Conference school to win the National Invitation Tournament (NIT).<\/p>\n

Dr. Erkan Kaplanoglu, a mechatronics professor and head of the Department of Engineering Management and Technology, was among the faculty waiting to greet the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe always support them because they deserve it,\u201d said Kaplanoglu, a Mocs Club member and former European professional basketball coach. \u201cThey do well at practice. They do well at everything. I still have poison in my blood for basketball. I never miss games.\u201d<\/p>\n

When UTC beat Bradley in the NIT quarterfinals on March 25, Trevor Jolley was at roller hockey practice getting ready for nationals. He checked the score during a break, took a second to process it and went right back to drills.<\/p>\n

The win sent the Mocs to Indianapolis for the NIT semifinals and finals on April 1 and 3, directly overlapping with Jolley\u2019s club team opener in Florida on April 2. That kicked off a scramble to figure out whether he could do both.<\/p>\n

After several calls and meetings with multiple staff and faculty members, and Interim Chancellor Robert Dooley, a plan came together that let Jolley cover the Mocs and still make it to nationals.<\/p>\n

After spending a year studying walkability in Chattanooga\u2019s Oak Grove neighborhood, students in Dr. Chandra Ward\u2019s class brought their findings to City Hall\u2014asking officials to make the area\u2019s streets safer and invest more fairly in underserved communities.<\/p>\n

The students, as part of UTC\u2019s Innovation Lab I course, shared their work during a City Hall presentation focused on the stark disparities between Oak Grove, a historically working-class neighborhood, and the nearby Mill Town development.<\/p>\n

Dr.<\/span> Jordan King, director of UTC\u2019s Innovations in Honors program in the Honors College, said the course exemplified the mission of combining community partnership with student development.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur goal is to put ideas into action,\u201d King said. \u201cWe want them to do this by being creative, trying to think how they can use things like design thinking to come up with solutions to problems and really engage in something that helps to create change.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

When Dr. Tim Gaudin arrived at UTC 30 years ago, his sights were set on teaching.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to be at a place where teaching was valued and important,\u201d said Gaudin, a UC Foundation professor in the Department of Biology, Geology and Environmental Science. \u201cThat\u2019s really important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Behind the scenes, however, Gaudin found additional value in his research\u2014and it paid off. This spring, that work earned him a huge milestone: co-authorship on a paper about sloths published in Science, one of the world\u2019s most prestigious scientific journals.<\/p>\n

DeAnna Grove\u2014better known as \u201cDee\u201d by the attendees of the Rhea Richland Senior Neighbors Center in Dayton, Tennessee\u2014is one of the MobileMOC health clinic\u2019s biggest fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you going down to the clinic?\u201d Grove yelled to her friend, both dressed in red, white and blue as part of a Flag Day celebration at the center. \u201cYou need to.\u201d<\/p>\n

As someone who experienced a traumatic health scare in 2000 that left her in a three-month coma, Grove is conscious of her own and her friend\u2019s health.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s forever on my mind,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m very cautious of how I take care of myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

With monthly access to the MobileMOC right outside the senior center door, Grove finds some comfort.<\/p>\n

Richard Winham wants the world to know two things: Radio is not dead. Neither is Richard Winham.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople keep saying radio is dead\u2026 but it doesn\u2019t make any sense, because it\u2019s not,\u201d Winham said. \u201cIt\u2019s as ubiquitous as it\u2019s ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trust him\u2014he would know.<\/p>\n

Winham joined WUTC-FM, the NPR-affiliated station housed on the UTC campus, in 1987.<\/p>\n

He has quietly become one of Chattanooga\u2019s most familiar voices, not by chasing the spotlight, but as he put it, staying \u201con the edge of it.\u201d After a long, successful career that includes launching the station\u2019s first morning music show, curating daily music programming, producing live sessions with local and touring artists, and mentoring generations of students interested in broadcasting, Winham retired at the end of June.<\/p>\n

As the UTC School of Nursing continues to expand its simulation toolkit, artificial intelligence is making a significant impact.<\/p>\n

Earlier this summer, students in the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) adult gerontology acute care program piloted an end-of-life training scenario unlike anything they had previously encountered in the University\u2019s Metro Annex Safe Hospital.<\/p>\n

The twist? Students weren\u2019t just caring for a simulated patient in the mock clinical setting. They also had to navigate a phone conversation with the patient\u2019s daughter, which was played not by a faculty member or actor, but by ChatGPT.<\/p>\n

Being chancellor is an intense role that comes with a packed schedule, which is something Dr. Lori Bruce is already familiar with.<\/p>\n

A Tennessee native, she grew up on a working farm in Lincoln County\u2014about 90 minutes west of Chattanooga. She most recently served as provost and vice president for academic affairs at Tennessee Tech.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s undeniable that Bruce stays busy, but she understands the value of connecting with students. She also knows the importance of making time for herself.<\/p>\n

A joint research project between UTC and the Tennessee Valley Authority earned one of four Prize Papers at the 2025 IEEE Power & Energy Society General Meeting\u2014selected from more than 1,600 submissions. The paper, co-authored by Dr. Abdel Karrar, TVA\u2019s Mark Bowman and UTC students Andrew Adams and Julio Gonzalez, focused on how nuclear plants can determine grid strength when real-time visibility is lost.<\/p>\n

Using UTC\u2019s Smart Grid Lab, the team showed that localized measurements at the plant can accurately estimate whether the grid can support critical safety systems during emergencies. Bowman called the approach \u201csomething no one had ever tried before.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Adams and Gonzalez, contributing to internationally recognized research affirmed the value of UTC\u2019s partnership with TVA. \u201cI never thought I\u2019d be part of something that would be recognized nationally, if not internationally,\u201d Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is rare to have the opportunity to establish a college,\u201d UTC Chancellor Lori Bruce said. \u201cElevating nursing to the college level brings visibility to an enterprise that has been delivering for this region for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you have nearly 1,000 students preparing for nursing careers, alumni practicing across the state, and a reputation for excellence, the title matters. Being a college gives weight to the work and helps us attract more people into a profession that Tennessee critically needs.\u201d<\/p>\n

When it is officially launches in January 2026, the College of Nursing will become UTC\u2019s fifth academic college, joining the College of Health, Education and Professional Studies\u2014where the School of Nursing is currently housed; the College of Arts and Sciences; the College of Engineering and Computer Science; and the Gary W.
