Four Generals Who Help Austin Peay State University Excel
Clarksville, TN – When Austin Peay State University (APSU) was visited by outgoing Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam, Haslam asked the school’s Board of Trustees what he should tell his successor about the University. Don Jenkins, a trustee, immediately mentioned Austin Peay’s military focus.
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.
