Austin Peay State University will soon begin the search for a new president as Dr. Alisa White departs to become president at Sam Houston State University.
Dr. White sent a letter Thursday morning to the APSU campus community, saying she will leave Clarksville after summer commencement in August.
She says, “It’s been a privilege to work with you, to learn from you, and to tell the Austin Peay story—your story—to our internal and external communities. Thank you for your passion for students, your dedication to our mission, and the manner in which you lead with excellence. Govs truly lead.”
On the future of APSU Dr. White adds, “Although we are living in uncertain times, I have great confidence in Austin Peay’s Board of Trustees, the Senior Leadership Team and the faculty and staff to continue to move the University forward. Austin Peay is fortunate to have a talent pool that is both broad and deep.”
