“Wings of Liberty” plans explored at APSU

October 6, 2008 |

Completion of the new Wings of Liberty Military Museum at Fort Campbell, KY, is drawing nearer to the opening date of 2010, and the progress being made on the facility will be the topic of the next session of the 2008-09 Library Athenaeum program at Austin Peay State University.

Retired Command Sgt. Maj. Robert Nichols, who serves as executive director and chief operation officer of the Fort Campbell Historical Foundation, will present, “Wings of Liberty: The New Museum Coming to Town,” at 2 p.m., Tuesday, Oct. 7 in Woodward Library.

Students are encouraged to attend. The event is free and open to the public.

The Library Athenaeum series, launched in 2007, has three purposes:

• To conduct events that promote and enhance the intellectual life of the University and the region.
• To reach out to students and make connections with them in places other than the classroom.
• To portray the library as a place to share, explore, discuss and think about ideas and events.

The Library Athenaeum will consist of speeches or presentations, panel discussions, debates, readings and performances. Faculty, staff and students are invited to submit proposals for future presentations. Proposal forms and additional information can be found on the Library Athenaeum Web site at http://library.apsu.edu/events/athenaeum.htm.
