What's Our Purpose?

Fostering Engagement

Community Service

The event encourages the Austin Peay community to give back to Clarksville. This is realized by volunteering with various organizations and participating in service activities. The act of service benefits the wider community and enriches the experiences of those who participate.

Building Relationships

The event builds stronger, more meaningful connections among members of the Austin Peay community by creating opportunities for participants to work together in service activities.

Realizing APSU’s Strategic Vision

The Day of Service supports Austin Peay’s strategic vision of enhancing student success and academic excellence by providing experiential learning opportunities, promoting civic responsibility, and cultivating an environment of collaboration and mutual support.

Supporting Clarksville
