Hello, my name is Thomas Bates. I am a senior pursuing computer science at the College of  Literature Science and the Arts. Besides being a student, I volunteer with Ann Arbor Public  Schools through a University of Michigan program where I help teachers at elementary and middle schools teach native Spanish speakers who are having difficulty understanding the material because it’s in a new language. Before attending the U-M, I volunteered with a firefighters organization that helped people experiencing homelessness in Southern California and was a caregiver for elderly veterans. I also volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in high school and was involved with fundraising. I love to travel, do charity work, and learn new languages.  After graduation, I plan on continuing to help others and hopefully have research that I conduct help me to address the underlying conditions that create homelessness and environmental degradation.
