Kathy came to APSU mostly for the convenience, but feels she got more than she expected. HPeopIe put down The Peay because it's a small college, but its size was a big plus for me. I like small classes with the same friends a both students and teachers. Austin Peay and the people have helped me achieve things that I dont think I could have done at a larger school, says Kathy. Kathy appreciated the School of Business at AP. HThird-floor Claxton holds some of the finest people - stu- dents and faculty e I've ever met.

Bob held membership in the Student Government Association, Tennessee Psychological Association, John Jay Society and the Psychology Club while at Austin Peay. HThe education a student receives does not necessarily come from the professor or his instruction, but rather from the motivation and the desire of the student to learn. I feel that the mark of any good university is the abili- ty to teach its students to think on their own, thereby producing re- search, remarked Bob.
