Story & Photography by Tony Centonze Roxy Regional Theatre, Executive Director Ryan Bowie recently hosted Be the Light on Franklin Street. When asked why, he said “I was raised to always speak my truth, and speak up for people whose truth is not being heard. This is the right thing to do.” Kimberly Wiggins
“If I’m going to lead an organization, let alone an arts organization that I think is charged with challenging people and being a voice for what’s happening on a national front, then that’s what I’m going to do.”
Kenneth Waters Jr.
Bowie took the podium first at the event, which featured moving speeches by local leaders Juanita Charles, Trustee Kimberly Wiggins, Clarksville’s Chief of Police, Mayor Joe Pitts, First Lady Cynthia Pitts, and others. “I think, sometimes, unfortunately, it takes deep-down personal experiences for people to understand that others hurt in different ways. Racism is like Covid-19, unless you know someone directly affected, you may question how real it is.”
Al Ansley & David Cockarell
“We all must fight for racial equality. I hope that people who were here tonight can shine a light bright enough to open people’s eyes to the fact that racial inequality is real, and the issue needs national attention, so we can wake up to a better tomorrow.”

BUDDY BENCH
Story & Photography by Tony Centonze Members of Leadership Clarksville and Leadership Middle Tennessee (LMT) gathered recently to work on the Buddy Bench anti-bullying project, starting with colorful benches that will be located at elementary schools throughout Montgomery County. Tara Quirion & O’Neal Wiggins
LMT President Lee Rucks was leading the Saturday morning effort. “We have built the benches and we’re painting them today,” Rucks said. “They are going to be placed at 24 elementary schools all across Clarksville, and throughout Montgomery County. This idea came from a couple of our 2018 Leadership graduates who wanted to give back. They saw a need for kids that were being bullied in schools, and thought of this as a way to help combat that.”
Lee Rucks & Ginna Holleman
Benches will be placed at playgrounds and outside lunch rooms, then student leaders will join the cause.
Khandra Smalley & Norman Quirion
Kenon Williams & Briana Dawson
“We are going to have a curriculum for our Buddy Bench Lead with Kindness program,” Rucks said. “We’ll have volunteers at the schools to train these young leaders, and show them how these benches should be used. We’re also getting corporate sponsorships. Local businesses can have their logos on the bench for a 3-year term. We’re excited, and thankful for all our volunteers and sponsors.”

Sango P harmacy 7th Anniversary Story & Photography by Tony Centonze
Sango Pharmacy recently hosted a customer appreciation day to celebrate seven years in business.
“We are here celebrating our seventh anniversary,” Catherine Meeks said. “We’ve been in business for seven years, and at this location for three. It goes quick. We have new people come in every day, and we hear the same thing from a lot of them, ‘this is not what we were ecpecting’. It makes us happy to be here offering something different to our commuinity.” To a growing clientele of regulars, Sango Pharmacy is much more than the name would suggest.
“We’re big on health and wellness, and we promote that in the community as much as we can,” Meeks said. “We also try to teach people how to be more proactive with their health, and how to take better care of themselves. We have a gift selection here, too, in which we try to offer things that no one else carries. We love working with small and local vendors to bring new and unique items to the market.”
Meeks’ advice for getting through this pandemic. “Eat well, sleep well, exercise, and practice good hygiene. It’s interesting that we are having to say wash your hands. That has always been something we should all be doing. Just take care of yourself.”

Dale & Sandra Simms
Pat Van Dyke, First Baptist Church of Clarksville’s Minister of Music and Pastoral Care was excited for Pierce’s return to Clarksville. “Chonda Pierce actually went to school at APSU, and currently lives in Ashland City. So, in addition to being hilariously funny, and a great encourager, she is a local lady as well.”
Jessica Tomlinson & Bethany Self
“Her message is always about hope and encouragement, as we face the difficulties of life. She tells so many funny stories, but they always have a point that is positive. Now is a good time for Chonda to be here. We need laughter more than ever, don’t we?”

Melinda Shepard, Executive Director of the Clarksville Area Chamber of Commerce, welcomed hundreds of home-owners to Clarksville’s Wilma Rudolph Event Center to see what’s new in lawn, garden, and home care, products and services.
“This is our 11th annual Home Show,” Shepard said. “We have about 55 vendors this year, so that’s a strong turnout, attendance has been good, and the weather has been beautiful. This has been a great event so far.”
Shepard says the Home Show is one of those events that always fills up fast. “We are very fortunate. We have a lot of small businesses here that like to showcase their goods and services, so it’s a win-win for everyone. One of the vendors that sells lawn equipment, and lawn care services, told me that they generate enough good leads from this show to book business for the entire rest of the year.” Katie Vicars & Connie Gillum

Lowes & United Way: Together for the Love of Community
Story & Photography by Bethany Sigler Challenges are woven into the fabric of running a nonprofit. In addition to building the community through events and services provided, United Way of the Greater Clarksville Region is the caretaker of the caretakers. Foundational to the mission of United Way is coordinating collaboration of community organizations to manufacture measurable positive impact.
In this case, the answer is Nathan Clark and his team at Lowes. What began as a generous drop off donation of N95 masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves turned into a tour of the Shower-Up operation. Clark says, “It basically sparked from a conversation with Val (Valerie Guzman). We stopped by to drop them off, and we are still here.”
What does that mean? It means that United Way of the Greater While touring Shower-Up, Clark and Guzman were discussing the Clarksville Region is constantly functioning at 100%.

“The organization has been around for more than 60 years,” Justin said. “It was started by a Pastor in Pennsylvania who saw the need for this. It began with teenagers, but has transformed into centers for men and women.” “We are the induction center,” Sarah said. “We get these men straight from jail, or the street, or whatever trouble they’ve gotten themselves into. We have them here for about 20 weeks. Once they’ve completed this stage of the program, they move to Memphis for their next stage of recovery. We deal with adult males 18 and up.”
Glenn Kennedy & Leigh Smith
Justin, a program graduate, and Sarah moved here from Memphis to start the local 14-bed facility. There are currently 10 men in the program. The Memphis facility can house 60.

NWTF Hunting Heritage Dinner Story & Photography by Tony Centonze The local chapter of the National Wild Turkey Federation recently hosted its Hunting Heritage Dinner at Wilma Rudolph Event Center.
Kristina & Dane Smith
“I’m on the Special Projects Committee for NWTF’s North Central Chapter, based here in Clarksville,” Joe Zoellner said. “We have members throughout the city and county, and we are always open to new members joining. Turkey hunting is a big part of what we do, but NWTF’s mission is to preserve habitat for the wild turkey.
Kayla, Tenley & Regina Tipton
“It’s a nationwide effort. We’re just a small chapter in Tennessee, so we’re excited to be expecting about 300 people tonight. All types of hunters are welcome. The money we raise goes to the national federation and is then distributed across the country to assist with a variety of projects, like habitat restoration.
Hannah Davis, Zack & Cash Griffy
“Funds raised can be used anywhere, so we request money back from the national fund for local projects. We recently put in a new walking trail and lighting down at Yellow Creek Baptist Church, near the Yellow Creek boat ramp. We have other projects in the works as well. Tonight, we’ll have dinner, a live auction and a silent auction, a general raffle, and lots of games. It’s going to be fun.”

“She was born on May 18, 1918,” Deborah Elms said. “So this is her second pandemic. Miss Velma is very talkative and loves to share stories from her life. She’s very aware of what is happening right now. She talks about all the presidents, all the changes that have taken place. She is amazing to talk to.” “Velma went to work as a waitress,” Elms said. “And on that very day her husband-to-be, a truck driver, stopped there to eat. As he was leaving, he asked about her favorite song. Velma said, something Hawaiian. He put enough money in the jukebox to play that song over and over again. She said her co-workers were ready to have a fit. They courted for three years, eventually got married, and the two of them ended up buying their own truckstop, which they ran for many years.”Fittingly, a tractortrailer led the parade.

$28.7 MILLION IN LOCAL INCOME $3.6 MILLION IN TAXES, ETC. FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS 394 LOCAL JOBS
In Clarksville, the real estate market is a major driver of the economy, and Reda Home Builders and the Reda Home Team are a major part of that. Let’s take a look at the numbers.
A paper published by the National Home Builders Association reported the results from a national economic impact study. According to the paper, “The estimated one-year impacts of building 100 single-family homes in a typical local area include $28.7 million in local income, $3.6 million in taxes and other revenue for local governments, and 394 local jobs.” “These are local impacts, representing income and jobs for residents of an average metropolitan area or nonmetropolitan county, and other sources of revenue, including permit fees for all local jurisdictions within the local area. They are also oneyear impacts that include both the direct and indirect impact of the construction activity itself, and the impact of local residents who earn money from the construction activity spending part of it within the local area.” To date, the Reda Home Team has approximately 150 homes under contract and sold. According to the numbers, the local impact of these Reda Home Builders homes is an estimated $43,050,000 into the local economy.
These numbers are before the home has even been sold. Positive economic impact extends well beyond the initial millions. For 48 • VIP CLARKSVILLE MAGAZINE
every 100 homes built, 100 families move into them, creating recurring economic impact. According to the same NHBA paper, “The additional, annually recurring impacts of building 100 single-family homes in a typical local area include: $4.1 million in local income, $1 million in taxes and other revenue for local governments, and 69 local jobs.”
The annual recurring impact of 150 homes sold is an estimated $6,150,000.
As homes are built and sold, we are witnessing the growth of a community. It is measurable, significant, and the Clarksville housing market is sustainable. The Reda Home Team lives and breathes to build the community in a positive way. The numbers don’t lie, and using economic impact as a barometer, they’re successfully accomplishing their goal everyday.

“Elliott Herzlich wanted to do something special for the community, so Danielle Stack and I suggested that we make this event about 2020 high school seniors,” Sarah Wood said. “They didn’t get to finish senior year properly, so we created a social media initiative, and asked parents to write a letter to their graduates, expressing their love and gratefulness, and how proud they were.” Alexis & Mary Endres
Fifteen of those seniors were recently honored at Yada on Franklin, where Herzlich gave each of them a piece of jewelry. Prizes for the top three finalists were, 1st Place - a custom-designed necklace, 2nd Place - diamond earrings, and 3rd Place – a unique Window to the World necklace.
Alisa White & Elliot Herzlich
35 submissions were narrowed to 15. Three were selected as grand prize winners.
“We actually decided to give prizes to all our finalists,” Herzlich said. “The top three were Lauren McCall, Megan Lehman, and Guinevere O’Brien. All the rest got freshwater pearls and notecards. We just wanted to show them some love and acknowledgement.”
Malanie & Megan Lehman

Stack, the mother of a 2020 graduate herself, said the letters were hard to read. “I shed tears at almost every one. They were all so moving. I know how sad my daughter was, so it was great to give back to others who represented high schools throughout Montgomery County.”

Russell says the program finds what brings joy and happiness to these veterans, then creates events where they can share experiences with other like-minded veterans. “As a veteran, I understand how having a sense of purpose and relevancy can counter a lot of strife in someone’s life,” Russell said. “When I got out, I went from 1,000 mph to a sudden stop, I became Mr. Russell, and for a while I didn’t know who I was.”

“We take guys hiking and camping, we go on fishing and hunting expeditions. We talk about what’s going on in their life, and find common ground, so they can open up. Tonight kicks off year-three.

Dr. Jacob Slater’s recent opening of Elevation Chiropractic on Madison Street featured food, fun and an official Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting.
Tyler Mayes & Alexis Goines
“This is actually my first practice that I’ll be running,” Dr. Slater said. “This journey began nine years ago when I met my mentor. I was dealing with back pain, and that’s what opened the door to chiropractic. Prior to that, I didn’t know where I was going to go after high school baseball.”
David & Danielle Graves
Nine years later, Dr. Slater is excited that his dream has become a reality. “I’m from Clarksville,” Slater said. “My father is exmilitary. We moved here when I was 1. I went to Barksdale, just across the street, then graduated from CHS in 2011, and then APSU in 2015.
McKenzie & Seth Lewis
“What we’re looking to do is help the people of Clarksville get away from doctors who only want to prescribe drugs, and surgery. We want to offer preventative care that doesn’t involve medication. We do that through principled neurologically-based, chiropractic care. We get to the root cause of the issues, rather than covering up the symptoms with drugs. We deal with the misalignment of the spine, which often is what’s causing your aches, pains and discomfort.”

A parade of lights, sirens, signs, and enthusiastic waves, and loving community members put smiles on the faces of Brookdale seniors.
Brookdale Sales Manager Marie Eppes talked about the celebration. “We invited all of our community partners to come out and cheer up our residents. We’re exclusively memory care here, we’re senior care, and everybody in town knows how important it is to protect our seniors. This was a great way to let them know that they are absolutely loved, but keep them safe too.” We may have a new normal, but people’s hearts are as big as ever, and people will always find safe ways to be kind.

MIDDLE COLLEGE AT APSU Richard Addison graduates with Distinction, the TN Hope Scholarship, as Science Olympiad Vice President - qualifying for state competition. “Richard is a bright young man that is looking towards pursuing a career in Financial Management through analytics. Thanks to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Clarksville, we were matched in a mentoring relationship and allowed to learn from one another over the years. Years ago I asked Richard what he wanted to be when he grew up. His response was “I don’t know, but I want to go to college.” I’m so proud to witness Richard living out his dreams.” -- David Smith, Richard’s Big Brother of 5 years through the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Clarksville youth mentoring program. Richard applied to and was accepted into Middle College and graduated this spring with a scholarship and spot at Austin Peay State University. “I’ve learned that you need dedication and focus to succeed and you just can’t slack off. You can’t,” Richard said. “David has helped me. He has pushed me to be the better version of me.”
Richard plans to pursue his Master’s Degree and travel wherever the business takes him.
“He has grown into a determined and confident member of the Clarksville community. He works hard for what he wants, and we are proud to have watched him grow up as a Little Brother in our program.” -- Chris Buerck, Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Clarksville. “I’m very proud of him,” said Richard’s mother Constance. “It’s been a hard road. No one said it was going to be easy. He’s come a long long way. I’m so excited that he made it to where he is, coming out of his shell. He was quiet and he’s not quiet anymore. He’s awesome and I want him to know that I love him. I’m excited about all his accomplishments. this is not the end of the journey. Great things are still flowing and great things are on the way.” Whatever comes his way, Richard plans to meet it with the resilience the Class of 2020 has come to embody.
“This whole quarantine showed that we can still overcome. We were able to graduate, even if it wasn’t at school. We were able to overcome the challenge before us and that’s saying something,” he said.

CHAPEL HILL CHRISTIAN ACADEMY This is a challenging time for parents when it comes to deciding their child’s education. As the upcoming school year approaches with so many uncertainties, many families are looking for more options. Clarksville, we are excited to announce the start of a new choice in education for our city, for our children, and for the generations to come. Chapel Hill Christian Academy will offer an interdenominational pre-k through fifth grade education, with an option for hybrid homeschool students. Here, students will receive an incredible education to prepare them for their future and a school that partners with families to build the foundation and nurture a relationship with Jesus Christ. CHCA will begin school this fall with a traditional education setting and an average class size of only 10 to 12 students. This allows teachers to minister to the whole child, seeking to enrich students spiritually, intellectually, and socially as they help each child establish their unique identity in Christ. You might be wondering how the name of this school came to be? Chapel Hill Christian Academy has a special meaning behind it—one that will set the foundation for how our school operates and what, rather who, we focus on each day. The meaning behind the word Chapel is the priority we will set on starting and ending every day with God. Chapel at our school will be a time to come together to praise and worship our Father, to pray with one another, and to learn who Jesus is so we can center our day around Him. Along with morning Chapel, students will receive daily Bible instruction, and every opportunity will be taken during the course of the day to share and apply Biblical truth. As we finish our day together, CHCA will take intentional time to end in a time of reflection and gratitude. Our goal is to cultivate gratitude in our students by keeping a “gratitude journal” in which they will regularly record the things for which they’re grateful. This time of gratitude helps reach the heart of our students and inspire them to be the woman or man of God they are made to be, while strengthening their awareness of God’s presence in their lives and the power of prayer.
around them. Not a bubble or a place to hide, but a place that prepares our children with the tools they need. Our prayer is that our students, faculty, and staff can be “a city on a hill,” allowing His light to shine through us and illuminate a path to God’s heart for those around us. As a school community with these purposes and responsibilities, we will engage the larger communities of our city, nation, and world of which we are a part. CHCA will also serve our neighbors through mission and service projects, equipping students to impact the world for Jesus Christ. We have been blessed with an incredible space right off exit 11, inside Living Hope Church. We are praying for God to continue providing for this school, and as we grow over the next 5 years, to bless CHCA with the funds needed to purchase land and build our own facility, where our students could grow academically, spiritually, and physically.
As we are preparing to launch our new school this fall, we are praying for the families that will join us and ask that they let us know their interest as soon as possible. We believe that God chose this very time for us to begin Chapel Hill Christian Academy—a different kind of school for students and families to partner together in education. Plain and simple, God showed us the need for a school where children can fall in love with Jesus. This is done through teaching scriptures, role modeling, answering questions, and providing opportunities to live out their faith in service to others.
Our faculty and staff are excited to begin and will work daily to provide a variety of activities to meet individual needs and make the learning environment challenging, exciting, and successful. We know that the elementary years are foundational to developing a life-long faith in Christ and a love for learning. Our goal at CHCA is to introduce our students to the person of Jesus Christ and to help them find a true and loving relationship with Him.
We trust that God has a very specific place for your child, and we welcome the opportunity for you to explore CHCA through our The word “Hill” comes from Scripture, Matthew 5: 14-16: “You website, www.chapelhillchristianacademy.com, or come tour our are the light of the world” I see this school as a place where we campus! are preparing and growing disciples who will change the world 62 • VIP CLARKSVILLE MAGAZINE

MTSU
COULD YOU ATTEND TUITION FREE?
When choosing a college, there are many factors at hand. One that’s often at the top of most people’s list is affordability.
Out of the 75 four-year colleges here in the Volunteer State, MTSU’s tuition and fees remain the lowest among the state’s three largest universities. For many students, the cost to attend MTSU is no more expensive than choosing to go to a community college. Thousands of students at MTSU qualify for some kind of assistance and/or scholarships, including the HOPE Scholarship, which provides students up to $2,250 each semester if they maintain a certain GPA. Pell Grant recipients often have little to no tuition fees or costs at MTSU. Around 40 percent of our students graduate with little or no debt because of scholarships and other programs.
Spring 2020 graduate, Angele Latham is one of those students.
Enrollment Coordinators in the MT One Stop work with current and incoming students to make sure they are connected with the appropriate aid and scholarship offerings based on eligibility.
NEW SCHOLARSHIPS FOR FRESHMEN
"Around 40 percent of our students graduate with little or no debt because of scholarships and other programs"
"Scholarships were absolutely vital to my education. I did not have any financial support to make it through college, and as a high school graduate from a very small town, I didn't have enough money saved up to even get me through one semester. If it weren't for scholarships - both private and institutional - I would never be where I am today. Scholarships are definitely an underutilized resource that students need to take better advantage of,” Latham said.
COULD YOU ATTEND MTSU TUITION-FREE?
The new semester is just around the corner, but it’s not too late to apply to MTSU. And you could even attend tuition-free. Beginning in the Fall of 2020, first-time freshmen paying in-state tuition and attending the University full-time could do just that – attend school tuition-free! 66 • VIP CLARKSVILLE MAGAZINE
With the lowest tuition and greatest value of the state’s three major comprehensive universities, tuition and fees at MTSU can be covered by federal aid and other scholarships for students who fall within the income and academic criteria set by state and federal governments.
MTSU also recently unveiled three new guaranteed scholarships for qualified freshmen.
University President Dr. Sidney McPhee previously said the scholarships were designed for “prospective freshmen in our region who are now considering higher education options that are closer to home due to the ongoing uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 crisis.”
Applications for the three awards – the Lightning Scholarship, the Blue Raider Scholarship, and the Future Alumni Scholarship – will be accepted until August 14. The Fall semester begins 10 days later on Monday, August 24. Last month a task force made up of faculty, staff, students, and community members recommended a “modified” reopening for the University in the fall. A mix of on-campus, hybrid, and online courses will be offered.
And while life looks a little different than it did last year this time on campus before the novel COVID-19 pandemic, we promise you that the University will do everything to keep its students, faculty, and staff safe. We’re here to help you find your True Blue path. We’re here to help you stay on course.

Empowered by Education & Saved by Grace EDUCATION AT PGPA Education is the antidote to ignorance, the champion of hope, the weight that can level the scale of justice and the fuel that can take a rocket of dreams to outer space!
We believe that young people are our next civic leaders, teachers, engineers, Ministers of Faith, doctors, and lawyers, drivers of compassion and competent decision makers with a moral compass that cannot be uncalibrated. Someone scrawled in French the following on the bulletin board of that great Notre Dame Cathedral: “Le monde demain appartiendra a ceux qui lui ont apporte’ la plus grande esperance.” Translated t h e s e wo rd s m e a n , “ T h e wo r l d tomorrow will belong to those who brought in the greatest hope!” We at Power and Grace believe that Education is hope! The world’s bestselling book, the Bible, says “Hope deferred, maketh the heart sick.”
We want to inspire students to be lifelong-learners and to plant deep in their resolve the following: Good, better, best never let it rest, until your good is better and your better is best!
OUR HISTORY
Power and Grace Began its inaugural year (2016 -2017) with 21 eager students. The first day of school was the culmination of a dream come true. The students and teachers entered with great excitement and anticipation of what was to be an outstanding and enriching school year. Power and Grace was established as a 501(c) 3 organization. PGPA educated students in grades Pre-kindergarten 3 and 4 year olds through the 1st grade. The staff consisted of three teachers, two administrators and one staff member. Our facility was located at 219 Dunbar Cave Road, Clarksville, TN.
Today PGPA students span grades Prekindergarten through the 5th grades. We have enrolled 65 students.

CONCLUSION
Moving forward, the core of excellence from each of our schools stakeholders is imperative to our nucleus of core values. We must develop and promote an environment for educators and students alike which champions existing and future academic excellence as being an attainable and plausible goal. Moreover, a clear understanding of what excellence looks like beyond the cliché, of all children can learn, must materialize and become concrete for all involved. An expectation of excellence should not only be relative but rather a targeted, recognized and measurable truth. It is our expectation for students to be critical thinkers, prepared and vigilant to carry out our core values. This will be achieved by studying data, seeking ideas, and feedback, as well as, learning through observation to effect positive educational growth. This is certainly at minimum, what we hope to model and inspire in others to work together to reach the visions and goals of educational excellence for all students. Mrs. Katobwa B. Stallworth, M.Ed.

Scott Schroeder, a retired Special Forces warrant officer, previously assigned to 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne), was wounded on December 10, 2010, while conducting Village Stability Operations in Afghanistan. His vehicle struck a pressure plate that detonated an IED directly beneath him. After more than 10 years since the incident that nearly took Scott’s life, he continues to heal and deal with the pains.
APSU’s Military Alumni Chapter has established a scholarship endowment in Scott’s honor. “It’s a special way the community can recognize a special person. This endowment will aid countless military-affiliated students along their educational journey at APSU,” said Joe Shakeenab, the chapter president and former member of 5th Special Forces Group. “This endowment is a noble endeavor because Scott continues to be an inspiration to others, including me.”
“Laura and I feel that the members of 5th Special Forces Group and the Clarksville community have become a part of our extended family,” Scott said. “Clarksville is now our home. I have a debt of gratitude and a feeling of responsibility for today’s students and the next generation of
leaders. I’m elated to be part of APSU and its scholarship program.”
Since inception of the Military Alumni Chapter on October 26, 2010, as a duly constituted chapter of APSU National Alumni Association, the chapter has established four scholarship endowments, two of which have matured and now provide scholarships to students. -APSU Military Alumni Chapter Scholarship -CSM(R) Sidney Brown Scholarship -Mrs. Joyce Luster Scholarship -CW3(R) Scott Schroeder Scholarship
“This year, our goal is to fully endow CW3(R) Scott Schroeder Scholarship with the required $25,000,” Shakeenab said.

Dr. Maria Cronley Named New Provost at APSU
Dr. Maria Cronley, a nationally recognized consumer behavior expert and senior administrator at Ohio Northern University, was recently named provost and senior vice president for academic affairs at Austin Peay State University. She will begin her new role at APSU in July. The University partnered with Storbeck Search & Associates to conduct a national search to fill Austin Peay’s top academic position. Earlier this month, the University hosted open forums with the four top candidates, before selecting Cronley for the position. Those forums were hosted online because of the coronavirus pandemic.“Dr. Cronley’s leadership record impressed me, particularly with her commitment to student success,” Dr. Alisa White, APSU president said. “While at Ohio Northern, she established a Student Success Center, and she helped that institution have the third-best job-placement record among schools in the U.S. She will be a wonderful addition to the APSU senior leadership team, and I look forward to seeing what she inspires within our Austin Peay community.”
