<\/a>Austin Peay State University Students, Faculty receive grants from APSU College of Arts and Letters.<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cI do feel like that in the College of Arts and Letters, a lot of research is done,\u201d he said. \u201cOne of my goals as interim dean is to celebrate that research.”<\/p>\n
\u201cOne way to celebrate it is to support it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Students and professors applied throughout the fall semester for the up to $2,000 grants. With the money, they\u2019ll travel to far-off places such as India and Romania and to closer destinations such as Missouri and Vermont.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really got a sense of what was going on in the college and was very impressed about some of the things that are happening,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n
Student Reaction<\/h3>\n
The students were especially excited to hear their projects were picked.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the best part,\u201d Jones said. \u201cIt\u2019s a big deal for a college to say what you\u2019re working on is important and we\u2019re going to give you money to help you out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rei Miller was surprised her project \u2013 a multimedia interactive about how stereotyping and writing, specifically in emails, affect the writer and the reader \u2013 was awarded.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was honestly expecting to receive a decline, so when I saw the \u2018congratulations,\u2019 my brain just stopped,\u201d she said. \u201cI was in a sort of shock and speechlessness, which then led me to saying expletives and not being able to fall asleep.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jane Seage is going to Romania next summer to work at an archaeological site, a Roman villa and settlement where she\u2019ll learn about archaeological and geophysical techniques, the culture and history of the area and the Roman impact. <\/p>\n
\u201cGetting the grant was a huge relief since the deadline for the trip\u2019s fees was coming up, and this is my only way to really pay for it,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n
