How many of our alumni were positively impacted by this outstanding educator?

Thirty-five years ago, Dr. Mike Phillips took a risk on a new career path he never planned: becoming a professor at Austin Peay State University. His dream of corporate America and pursuing opportunities in real estate and finance operations, ending after experiencing one particular “bolt of lightning” moment that changed everything.

In this Q&A, Phillips reflects on his 35 years at Austin Peay, with testimonials from former students, offering a glimpse into the lasting impact of his dedication to teaching and mentorship over the past three-and-a-half decades of building a legacy.
