Jody Alberd, an assistant professor in the Engineering Technology Department, recently received his first National Science Foundation (NSF) grant as principal investigator—a Research Initiation in Engineering Formation (RIEF) award to study how student veterans develop their engineering identity throughout their senior capstone design projects.

"Veterans come in with a very strong and very powerful military identity that's already well established," Alberd said. "So we want to look at, how does that transition into an engineering identity formation?"

Today is the FINAL day to register for the Austin Peay Chemistry Department Nature to Medicine Camp!

This camp immerses students in chemical research using university-level laboratory facilities and instrumentation. Throughout the week, participants will complete a full research project beginning with the extraction of natural products from plant materials, followed by analytical characterization, and student-friendly bacterial assays designed to explore the potential health-related medicinal properties of the extracted compounds.

Friends of a beloved veterinarian in Clarksville have found a special way to honor his memory -- by endowing a pre-veterinary scholarship at Austin Peay State University in his name.

07/09/2026

The Austin Peay State University Foundation has received a generous gift from Dr. Ernest and Joan De Wald to establish the Drs. D.W. & Ben Howard Pre-Vet Endowment, which will support APSU students pursuing pre-veterinary studies.

“Our hope is to help dedicated students build the academic foundation they need to become compassionate, skilled veterinarians,” Dr. Ernest De Wald said. “Austin Peay has a strong tradition of preparing students for professional study, and we're pleased to support that path while honoring two veterinarians who exemplified excellence and service in their field."

It's time for another edition of Science Through Little Eyes! 👀

Over the summer, we'll be sharing artwork from our friends at Little Govs Child Learning Center as they answer the big question: What is science?

Today's entry comes to us from Delilah! If your little Gov would like to submit some artwork based on what they think science is, send those pictures along to Colby Wilson at [email protected]!
