We got to recognized two of our greater teammates today during the Appreciation and Belonging Hour.

We break down the information and relate some of these benefits to those received in service.

ATTENTION GOV SUPPORTERS! The Military and Veterans Affairs Division seeks potential donors for the Military-Affiliated Professionals Program (MAPP) Tools initiative. The funds will go towards fully implementing the Wisedoc platform within the Military and Veterans Affairs. Wisedoc is a resume platform that will assist our military-affiliated students in drastically increasing their employability rates. Your gifts today will make an immediate impact, and you will assist us in providing our military-affiliated students with the tools that matter. If you want to make a gift, go to https://lnkd.in/gizJV3YK. We hope you will help us fund this project and allow us to continue to provide our students with the best tools available.

This is a great opportunity for our military-affiliated students to earn their Lean Six Sigma or Six Sigma White Belt Certification for FREE. Get a good overview of the program and start your journey. #LETSGOPEAY, #MilitaryAffiliatedProfessionalsProgram, #APSUmvaMAPP, #APSUMVA, #OurTribe, #APSU, #PuttingYouOnTheMAPP, #MAPPtheLegend, #ExpandingTheMAPP, #tap, #hireasoldier, #MilitaryTransition, #VeteransSupport, #MentalHealth, #ClarksvilleTN, #APSU, #WeStandTogether, #TheLegend, #hireaveteran, #goearlygooften, #Veterans, #StudentVeterans, #VeteranEmployment, #CareerSuccess #MilitaryAffiliatedStudents, Austin Peay State University Military and Veterans Affairs Division, Austin Peay State University Career Services, Major General (Retired) Walt Lord, Institute for National Security and Military Studies, Austin Peay State University, Dr. Leonard E.

Up until just last year, our university didn’t really do much to observe Veterans Day…an astounding oversight, given the fact that we host the largest population of military-affiliated students (#BYFAR) in Tennessee and one of the largest in the nation. We now celebrate a full “Veterans Week” of activities starting next Monday at both our Clarksville campus and our Fort Campbell Center. Two of those events will be sponsored by BMW and I hope to see lots of Clarksville, Montgomery County, and Middle Tennessee friends, especially at our annual military appreciation football game on November 9th! Kudos to our Austin Peay State University Military and Veterans Affairs Division’s hard-charging Director of Recruitment, Communications, and Marketing, Marisa Roberts for taking a suggestion that we should do something on Veterans Day, sprinting with it, and turning it into an awesome Veterans Week! #GoldStandard
