Austin Peay’s deans ‘slimed’ after reaching and smashing Govs Give campaign goals

Because the Austin Peay State University Govs Give campaign was so successful, each of APSU’s college deans agreed to be SLIMED, Nickelodeon-style, on Wednesday.  The sliming was at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday, April 28, in front of the Foy Fitness and Recreation Center on the Clarksville campus.  APSU’s Professional Mad Scientist Bryan Gaither perfected his slime recipe, which fell in gooey green glops on the deans.  Here’s who got slimed:  • Dr. Karen Meisch, dean of the College of STEM. • Dr. Tucker Brown, dean of the College of Behavioral and Health Sciences. • Dr. Prentice Chandler, dean of the Eriksson College of Education. • Barry Jones, dean of the College of Arts and Letters. • Dr. Mickey Hepner, dean of the College of Business.  Austin Peay recently raised $458,981 during the University’s fifth annual Govs Give campaign, making this the most successful year for the online giving event.
