APSU Philosophy Department honors student who has audited courses for 20-plus years
February 5, 2011
Clarksville, TN – Mildred Frensley may be the true definition of a “lifelong learner.”
In 1988, she decided to take the Critical Reasoning and Logic course at Austin Peay State University.
“I didn’t want to stagnate,” she said. “I wanted to learn something else.”
More than 20 years later, Frensley has audited almost every philosophy course offered in the APSU Department of History and Philosophy – some even more than once.
