APSU’s Center for Service-Learning & Community Engagement, campus community partner to aid national hurricane relief efforts
November 3, 2017
Clarksville, TN – When Hurricane Maria — a Category 4 hurricane with winds up to 150 mph — ripped through the island of Puerto Rico on September 20th, 2017, the fury of Mother Nature appeared relentless, but Puerto Rico native and Austin Peay State University senior psychology major Maydaliz Bultron knew better than most that the damage left in the storm’s wake would be the true challenge for the island and its people.
“I grew up in Puerto Rico and I lived through Hurricane George (in 1998), so I understand what life is like in the wake of a storm,” Bultron said. “I remember things like not having running water and having to get ready for school in the dark with candles because the electricity had been knocked out during the storm.”
APSU takes in over a quarter-ton of goods and supplies for Hurricane Relief.

APSU chemistry professor Bob Shelton awarded grant to advance green energy research
April 20, 2013
Clarksville, TN – Dr. Bob Shelton, Austin Peay State University associate professor of chemistry, has an idea for an extremely efficient automobile. He’d like to see a vehicle powered by water and sunlight rather than gasoline.
“In some ways, that’s the way plants work,” he said. “That’s what we’re going to try to mimic with our photocatalytic hydrogen producers that mimic the reaction of the oxygen-evolving center in plants.”

Clarksville, TN – With temperatures reaching an expect 98 degrees today and 99 degrees tomorrow, it is important to think out your outdoor pets. Pets left outside need to be provided with a shaded area for protection from the sun.
It is also important to provide them with plenty of cool drinking water. I stress cool water because water that has been left out in the warm weather will reach temperatures of 70 to 80 degrees even in the shade. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like drinking warm or hot water and neither does your pet. [Read more]
