The Austin Peay Parent
(Family) Association (APPA) is a newly established group of parents and
family members of Austin Peay students created to help students succeed
during the first year of college and to better support our students and
their families.
You can become a founding
member of the APPA by e-mailing your interest to
bryantt@apsu.edu. Most
communication is accomplished by e-mail. There is no cost or
obligation to join!
Please include:
your name(s)
your students full name
your relationship to the student
your preferred e-mail address, and
your telephone number
Our goal is that the APPA will:
- Enable families to
more actively participate in the life of their student
- Interact with and
support the family members of other new students
- Serve as a
communication link between the University and families of first time
students
- Provide feedback to
the University about concerns or make suggestions regarding the
transition of their student to the college environment
- Promote APSU in
their local community
- Partner with the
University to enhance the likelihood of their student's success
Members receive updates
on important deadlines and other information to assist their students in
transitioning and persisting in their University life.
We hosted an APPA
tent on Tailgate Alley during
Family Weekend, October 3 and 4, 2008.
We were thrilled to meet member parents and students, and also to
welcome several new members to APPA!
We had a huge crowd for the APSU/ Murray Game!
Lots of students took advantage of the free tickets for their families
for the game and it was a great day!
All parents, whether they
join the parents association or not, will receive support and assistance
from the Office of Student Affairs and the University.
We are excited to partner with our parents and families to support your
students and their total APSU experience!
