The Monacle
Austin Peay’s new yearbook should be out in a few weeks, revived after an absence of more than 15 years by our student affairs division with the leadership of Tammy Bryant, our director of student affairs. The staff of The Monocle has been hard at work all year and spent the summer sorting through thousands of photographs and laying out the yearbook, which is being published by Jostens. I saw some of the preliminary pages this week, and they look fantastic. Tabitha Gilliland, our coordinator of student publications, has done a great job of providing guidance to our student staffers.
Soon after I arrived at Austin Peay two years ago, I pulled together a group of folks at the university to talk about making the Peay’s history more visible for our current students. A sense of tradition will help our students be more rooted and engaged in the university. The knowledge that their own years at Austin Peay will eventually find a place in that same history will, I hope, help inspire them to make the most of their time here.
The 2008-09 yearbook is on sale at http://www.jostensyearbooks.com.
