CLARKSVILLE, TN – Austin Peay State University’s popular summer coding camps return to the University’s Clarksville campus this year after the pandemic forced officials to cancel last year’s camps.
And anyone who wants to attend the camps can sign up at a steep discount. The first half of campers who sign up will get a 90% discount off the normal $99 price. All other campers will get a 60% discount. The discount codes are on the coding camp website.
“We secured a $40,000 grant from Google to fund these camps, and we want to make sure that anyone who wants to go to these camps can go at a substantial discount,” said Dr. James Church, associate professor in APSU’s Department of Computer Science and Information Technology. “So, literally, it’s 10 bucks to sign up for a weeklong camp.”

CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Austin Peay State University’s Police Department will increase seat belt enforcement from May 24 through June 6 as part of a “Click It of Ticket ” campaign with the Tennessee Highway Safety Office.
The enforcement campaign will primarily focus on nighttime enforcement, according to a release from APSU. Participating law enforcement will take a “no excuses” approach to seat belt enforcement, writing tickets day and night.
“Buckling up is such a simple task that can keep you and your family safe in the car,” APSU Police Chief Sammie Williams said. “But it’s more than that. Buckling up is the law. Our law enforcement officers see the consequences of not buckling up. We see the loss of life. Often, it could have been prevented with the simple click of a seat belt. This should be automatic.”

Evans Harvill, who for decades promoted Austin Peay State University as one of its most trusted ambassadors and advisors, died on Monday.
He was 95. He was the kind of man that every girl wants as a father, and every woman wants as a husband, said Denise Greenwood, Harvill s stepdaughter.
Neal-Tarpley-Parchman Funeral Home is handling funeral arrangements. The loss of Evans Harvill is truly a sad one for our Governor family, APSU President Michael Licari said in a statement. He will be remembered by his friends at Austin Peay as a distinguished alumnus who supported his alma mater in many academic areas, as well as the arts and athletics.
CLARKSVILLE, TN – The title in front of her name sometimes causes her to hesitate: Dr. Sarah Dugger.
“A lot of my teacher friends will joke and call me Dr. Dugger,” she said.
Over the next few months, others might also hesitate when she tells them where she earned her doctorate – Austin Peay State University. For the last 94 years, the University has never awarded anything higher than an Education Specialist graduate degree, but that will change on Friday, May 7. Dugger – let’s say it again, “Dr. Sarah Dugger” – will make history by becoming the first person to earn a Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) in educational leadership degree at the University.
