WE ARE SO GLAD YOU DECIDED TO BECOME A GOVERNOR!
WELCOME
TO APSU!
I am so excited that you made the
decision to become a Governor. As a
student who made the same
decision in undergrad, I can assure
you it was the right one! Austin Peay
is an amazing institution with faculty
and staff that put students first.
Although we are the fastest-growing
public university in the state, we have
kept our close-knit campus
community. Know that you are not
only becoming a Gov for the next
couple of years, but for life. I look
forward to meeting each of you this
year and throwing up a monocle at
one of our home games!
oh &...
Let's Go Peay!

Matching your skills
to the job most sited for you
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) are specialized living
environments that connect students' inside- and outside-
the-classroom experiences. Each LLC is unique but all are
centered on a distinctive theme or academic interest area.
LLCs are an ideal way to make friends with peers who have
similar interests or circumstances. Research shows that
students who participate in an LLC have higher academic
success rates, higher college graduation rates, higher levels
of satisfaction with their college experience and an easier
time connecting with their peers. Students who opt into the
Transfer LLC will have increased opportunities to connect
with other transfer students also in their first year at APSU.
