CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – The Community School of the Arts (CSA) at Austin Peay State University is excited to announce a new financial model, using sponsorships from local community members and organizations to dramatically reduce the cost of CSA classes to just $5 per hour, making them more affordable to the community. For example, the eight-week beginning guitar class that was previously $150 is now just $40. A 12-week ballet course that was $300 is now only $120.
“We wanted our classes to be accessible to the average family, and the generosity of our sponsors has allowed that to happen,” said CSA Coordinator Dawn Martin Dickins. “Now you can enjoy a weekly CSA class with a highly qualified and experienced instructor for what you might spend on a latte.”

BOZEMAN, Montana (January 19, 2021) - A four-year study recently published in
Ecology and Evolution concludes that the fungal disease, white-nose syndrome, poses a severe threat to many western North American bats.
Since it was first detected in 2006, white-nose syndrome has killed millions of bats in eastern and central North America. The spread of the fungal pathogen that causes white-nose syndrome in hibernating bats has reached several western U.S. states, mostly likely through bat-to-bat spread, and is presently threatening western species.
