The University hosted its inaugural Military Hall of Fame induction ceremony last November in the William E. and Sadako S. Newton Military Family Resource Center, where inductees’ names and photos are permanently displayed. The inaugural class consisted of 13 veterans spanning from World War I to post-millennium conflicts.
Contributions to the Hall of Fame support current military-affiliated students by funding initiatives and programs focused on their needs as students.
To contribute to this initiative, please contact the Division of Alumni, Engagement, and Philanthropy by calling 931.221.7127 or visiting the Jenkins Building at 318 College Street.
APSU has the largest number of military-affiliated students in Tennessee, with more than 25% of its population having military ties. APSU was also the first public university in the nation to build its own facility on a military installation, with the construction of the Austin Peay State University Center at Fort Campbell.
