By: Kara Zahn October 13, 2023
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Austin Peay State University (APSU) has introduced a new initiative to provide an educational experience for K-12 students and teachers alike, “Book a Professor.”
With this new program, professors from APSU’s College of Arts and Letters can come directly into the classroom to share their expertise and forge meaningful connections with students. Teachers can call on real-life experts to discuss literature, art, history or any field of their choice.
Here's how it works:
Teachers, counselors, principals and school systems can now connect with Austin Peay through a user-friendly form here. Choose a field, and if it aligns with the availability of our professors, the College of Arts and Letters will coordinate a time and date that suits everyone involved.
