MTSU provided live video streaming of the event for desktop, laptop and tablet users. The live feed ended with the event, however, and is no longer available for viewing.

Other media options include:

Radio: WMOT-FM, the university’s public radio station, will broadcast the event live on 89.5 and also through its website, www.wmot.org.

TV: MTSU’s Educational Resource Channel @ Middle Tennessee, also known as ERC@MT, and the student-run station MT10 will be televising the occasion.

ERC@MT airs locally on Comcast Channel 9 in Rutherford County while MT10 can be seen on Comcast Channel 10 in Rutherford County. The event will also air on AT&T U-verse Channel 99 across Middle Tennessee.

MT10 also will offer live video streaming at www.mt10news.com/live.

The 257,000-square-foot, $147 million Science Building opened this fall, a full semester ahead of schedule. It represents the largest single capital investment ever in Tennessee higher education.
