\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – Austin Peay State University\u2019s campaign to develop a state-of-the-art trading room for its College of Business students received a major boost last week when Mark Green, MD, president of the healthcare company AlignMD, presented APSU President Alisa White with a $50,000 donation for that project.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn building our successful healthcare company, the resources that served as the foundation came from here in the Clarksville community: legal services, capital financing and accounting,” Green, a Tennessee state senator and physician, said. \u201cAlignMD is an authentic Clarksville entrepreneurial success story.\u201d<\/p>\n

AlignMD\u2019s generous donation will go toward putting a trading room, and adjoining innovation rooms, on the first floor of APSU\u2019s Kimbrough Building. The unique space will feature computer stations and terminals to provide students studying finance, marketing and management with business innovation tools that will enhance and extend their business education.<\/p>\n

The new rooms will also complement the College of Business\u2019 growing reputation as one of Tennessee\u2019s top business programs. Earlier this year, the college\u2019s Investment Challenge team placed first in the Tennessee Valley Authority\u2019s annual Investment Challenge.<\/p>\n

Competing against teams from 25 other universities, the APSU team managed an investment portfolio that outperformed the benchmark index by more than 65 percent. The APSU team earned a 22.67 percent return for TVA invested funds, outperforming the Standard and Poor\u2019s average by 13.69 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a good steward and good corporate citizen, making an investment in the very business community that assisted in our success is not only the right thing to do, it’s the responsible thing to do,\u201d Green said. \u201cAustin Peay’s College of Business is the pool for the next Clarksville success story.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last year, APSU\u2019s Master of Science in Management program was ranked #32 in the country on The Financial Engineer\u2019s 2015 Master of Management Rankings. APSU\u2019s graduate business program was the highest ranked in Tennessee.<\/p>\n
