July 30, 2001
On May 11, 2001 during Austin Peay State University's spring Commencement exercises, he was named "Mr. Governor" for 2001. Now, Michael Wall, son of Carl and Sue Wall of Clarksville, has landed a coveted fellowship.
A political science major at APSU, Wall was one of only 20 students nationwide to receive the Alpha Lambda Delta fellowship from 105 applications this year, according to Dr. Patricia Graham, national president of Alpha Lambda Delta Academic Honor Society.
According to Barbara Phillips, APSU associate dean of students, Wall is the first APSU student ever chosen for this award.
Former president of the APSU Student Government Association, Wall will use the award to help fund law school at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, beginning this fall. The $3,000 annual fellowship continues yearly if Wall meets academic criteria.
recipients for 2001-2002 include graduates from such universities as Texas Christian, Purdue, Northwestern and Vanderbilt.
