Clarksville, TN – On Saturday, February 15th, 2020 the Austin Peay State University (APSU) Department of Art + Design will host its annual College Art + Design Day for high school students at 9:00am-3:00pm in the Art + Design Building.
The free event allows students interested in studying art to take workshops similar to those at Austin Peay State University to try out the major before having to commit to it.
The day concludes with a portfolio review, and each year some high school seniors are offered scholarships based on their portfolios.
Parents and teachers also are invited to attend.

Get your Taxes done for Free
Austin Peay State University’s College of Business is looking to ease some of that stress by providing free tax preparation through its Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program. The program is open to anyone with an annual income of $56,000 or less, individuals with disabilities or Spanish speakers with limited English skills.
For the last three years, Austin Peay State University has offered the VITA program as part of a service-learning course that provides an important community service while also giving APSU accounting students practical, real-world experience. The students in Business Professor Jennifer Thayer’s class are all IRS-certified volunteers who spent the winter months preparing for the VITA program.
The VITA program will remain open (except for the week of March 8th-14th, which is spring break) until the final tax-filing day on April 15th.
