Austin Peay State University breaks ground on New Math and Computer Science Building August 17th

August 14, 2012 |

Clarksville, TN – Earlier this year, a narrow brick house off Ford Street, behind the Austin Peay State University Hemlock Semiconductor Building, was torn down. All that remains in its absence is a dirt lot, with a few patches of grass and gravel covering it.

At 10:00am on August 17th, shovels will plunge into that dry earth to mark the beginning of construction on APSU’s new $6.7 million mathematics and computer science building. The two-story classroom building, designed by Rufus Johnson Associates, is projected to open in the spring of 2014.

Local community choir looking for new members for Spring Season

October 7, 2011 |

Clarksville, TN – Dr. Nell Rayburn, chair of the Austin Peay State University Department of Mathematics and Statistics, had to calculate the odds first.

“I like to hang out with people who have talent,” she said. “I like to be surrounded by a big soprano section.”

So, when Rayburn decided to pursue her lifelong passion of singing, her mathematical background told her she’d be more comfortable in a large group. That’s why she joined the Clarksville Community Choir, a musical ensemble made up of area residents from different backgrounds and professions. «Read the rest of this article»
