Advisory Council for Student Affairs

The Advisory Council for Student Affairs is a volunteer leadership team established for the purposes of advocacy and engagement of strategic efforts that promote a thriving experience and the success of students at Austin Peay State University. In strengthening relationships with Austin Peay constituency groups, the council is comprised of alumni, community members and industry partners who advise the Vice President for Student Affairs on the vision and strategy for the student experience.

The Division of Student Affairs will engage the council membership on the following areas of the student experience: campus and community engagement, health and well-being, community belonging and career success, and national trends in higher education affecting the student experience. The council may perform additional functions as agreed upon by the Vice President for Student Affairs and the membership of the council.

We are grateful for these members and their commitment to the success of our students.
