Description

The current TSTC Portal has been in use since 2010, or perhaps longer. It is a valuable resource for students, employees, and alumni that provides information, current events and connections to systems. The last portal update was in 2015, and it will reach its end of life support in the summer of 2024. This project will look at options to upgrade the portal and enhance its capabilities.
