This Week at APSU: Fall Break begins a quiet week at Austin Peay State University
October 14, 2019
Clarksville, TN – The leaves are changing colors (more from a lack of rain than a shift in the season), and as they quietly fall across Austin Peay State University, only a few squirrels and feral cats can be heard scampering through them. That’s because it’s Austin Peay State University’s Fall Break, October 14th-15th. Neither the Clarksville Campus nor Fort Campbell Center will have classes those two days.

APSU to host Brexit panel to help community make sense of historic event
October 10, 2019
Clarksville, TN – If you were born after 1993 – which is the case for most Austin Peay State University (APSU) students – then you’ve only known a world where the United Kingdom is a part of the European Union (EU).
That fact can seem trivial, especially if you’re living 4,000 miles away in Tennessee, so when Great Britain announced it would be the first country to leave the EU – a move known as “Brexit” – many people on campus and in the Clarksville area reacted with mild curiosity.
Austin Peay will hold a special panel discussion in the campus’ Honors Commons to help educate the local community on Brexit’s potentially global impact. (APSU)
