Whether he's holding meetings with staff and administration, spending time with his family or playing racquetball at 6:45 on Monday mornings, President of Austin Peay State University, Timothy Hall, keeps his plate full. This semester-his first-has been filled with meetings, conferences and his involvement with the campus community.
As a continuation of his myriad meetings with faculty and staff, Hall has included two listening meetings this November.
The first of these meetings will be the Student Government Association Campus Talk to be held at 5:30 p.m. Nov. 8 in Clement Auditorium. Hall will later host a listening meeting geared toward Fort Campbell students Nov. 19 at the APSU Center at Fort Campbell from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. in Room 257.
SGA Campus Talk will include Hall, Dean of Students Greg Singleton, Associate Vice President and Chief Student Affairs Officer, Sherryl Byrd, and the SGA Executive Committee.
The two meetings will provide an open forum for students at both main campus and Fort Campbell to voice concerns with Hall about campus changes and needs.
Hall said he expects students to talk with him about campus concerns.
Hall portrayed the upcoming listening meetings as a way to help familiarize himself with APSU.
"I want [students] to talk about where Austin Peay ought to be going, about opportunities [students] think we ought to be seizing and particular challenges we ought to be confronting," Hall said.
Upon his arrival at APSU, Hall said that he noticed that the campus was the "right size" for him. He referred to APSU as a campus that is large enough to offer many programs, yet small enough for students and faculty to connect.
"I liked the culture," Hall said. "This is [an institution] where students come first."Christin Gardner, 18, a freshman accounting major, found Hall to be an approachable and campus-oriented person. Gardner said she would attend the SGA Campus Talk with her concerns regarding campus activities and the Morgan University Center.
