APSU celebrates opening of Highland Crest Campus
Clarksville, TN – To help students earn degrees, sometimes a college or university has to go beyond its campus map and take education to where the students are.
That is what Austin Peay State University is doing at the new Highland Crest Campus in Springfield Tennessee.
“The future belongs to learners,” APSU President Tim Hall told a standing-room-only crowd June 22nd at the grand opening of Highland Crest Campus, Robertson County’s first higher education facility. “We are helping students to manufacture income factories of their own. Those earnings will be going to the life of this area.”
