Chamber Ribbon Cutting opens the newest Campus of the University of Phoenix
Campus Director Mark Mendoza
The University of Phoenix has targeted non-traditional students in Clarksville for quite some time with their well-known online curriculum, now they are seeking to provide a more personal touch by opening their newest campus in Clarksville, TN with an Official Ribbon Cutting by the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce.
“Our students are different from those in traditional colleges.” said Campus Director Mark Mendoza, “Many of our them can’t go to school from 8:00am-5:00pm Monday through Friday, they are working adults with responsibilities outside the classroom.” That is something that the University of Phoenix recognizes and strives to accommodate.

Two Acclaimed Poets to Read at APSU September 23rd
Poetry, like music, is meant to be heard. The cadence of the spoken words has the ability to quiet the mind, illuminating a depth of feeling for the attuned listener.
At 4:00pm on September 23rd, area residents will get to experience the transcending powers of two of the country’s formidable poets – Kazim Ali and Brett Ralph – during a public reading of their work in room 303 of the Morgan University Center. A book signing will follow.
Ali is the author of two books of poetry, “The Far Mosque” and “The Fortieth Day.” He was the winner of the Alice James Books’ New England/New York Award, and his poetry has been featured in national journals such as Best American Poetry 2007, American Poetry Review, Boston Review and Barrow Street.

APSU History Club Named Best Chapter of the Year for a Second Time
Shortly after APSU’s Phi Alpha Theta History Honor Society won “Best Chapter” in the nation last year, the University hosted an unrelated celebration marking its record enrollment of 10,188 students. For the history professors and students standing in the Morgan University Center Plaza that day, the event was bittersweet.
“I knew it was good for the University, but I knew it would be harder for us to win best chapter again,” Dr. Minoa Uffelman, assistant professor of history and club adviser, said.
The National PAT is split into different divisions, representing different sized schools. Last year, APSU won “Best Chapter of 2009” for Division III, which accounted for schools with 10,000 students or less. The new enrollment numbers put the chapter in a different division against larger universities. [Read more]
