Four Generals Who Help Austin Peay State University Excel
![]() APSU President Alisa White (center) stands with Scott Brower, Gary Luck, Robin Mealer and Ronald Bailey, four retired generals now working for Austin Peay State University. “This is a very military-friendly town, but it’s an incredibly military-friendly college,” he said. Jenkins wasn’t exaggerating. With more than 2,650 military-connected students, Austin Peay State University is Tennessee’s leading provider of higher education to military-affiliated students. These individuals are a key part of the University’s culture, and in recent years, Austin Peay officials have strategically recruited former top-level military leaders to ensure this culture remains secure for generations to come. “We take this responsibility to the military seriously,” Alisa White, APSU president, said. “And if you’re counting stars, between Gen. (Robin) Mealer and Gen. (Gary) Luck, we have five on the board. Additionally, with Gen. (Ronald) Bailey and Gen. (Scott) Brower on our leadership team, we have four stars. So we have nine stars,” stated White. Meet The GeneralsGeneral Gary LuckName: (Ret.) General Gary Luck Stars: Four Previous Position: Commander-in-Chief, United Nations Command (Korea)/Combined Forces Command/United States Forces Korea Current Position: APSU trustee “The instincts, insights and intuition honed via that extensive experience has more than prepared me to take on this responsibility.

Brigadier General Robin Mealer (’00) Stars: One Previous Position: Chief of the Force Management and Integration Division Current Position: APSU trustee “Austin Peay State University has contributed much to me both personally, in achieving my degree, and professionally in the advancement and support of the Army ROTC program.

Lieutenant General Ronald Bailey (’77) Stars: Three Previous Position: Deputy commandant for Plans, Policies and Operations for the Marine Corps Current Position: Vice president for external affairs “Over the years, I’ve traveled upon three ships of service: leadership, relationship and mentorship.
