Student Affairs at Austin Peay

After 30 years of dedicated service to Austin Peay State University, we proudly celebrate Kathleen Evans as she begins a well-deserved retirement ❤️

For three decades, Kathleen remained committed to helping students succeed. Her impact extends beyond her years of service through her support of the APSU Legacy Society and the scholarship she established to help students overcome financial barriers and achieve their educational goals.

Her legacy will continue to make a difference in the lives of Govs for years to come. Congratulations, Kathleen, and thank you for all you've done for Student Affairs and Austin Peay!
