On Feb. 22, Austin Peay State University representatives presented at a national conference on high-impact practices, HIPS in States, at Western Kentucky University. Staff members Ashlee Spearman, Alexandra Wills and Allie Campbell, along with students Antonette Wade and Amaya Sutphen, presented on several of the HIP programs that Austin Peay offers students. The panel presentation, "A Targeted Approach to HIP Involvement: Learning Communities, Service Learning, Study Abroad and More," focused on a living and learning community that incorporated study abroad and service-learning courses. Additionally the presentation shared how the University's sophomore-level community is focused on internships and global issues. The students shared their experiences in the latter program and talked about high-impact practices from a student perspective. The staff and students received funding from the Tennessee Board of Regents to attend and present at the conference.

On Monday, February 25, 2019, ten students from the APSU College of Business attended the Mentoring Monday event presented by Girl Scouts of USA and Bank of America. The event was held in downtown Nashville. The attendees were matched with a handful of our mentors for seven-minute, one-on-one mentoring sessions. The event also featured breakout sessions which covered topics such as "making your voice heard," "women and investing," and "better money habits."

Peer mentors are integral to the success for orientation and support programs for first-year students and students in transition. The range of services provided by peer mentors on college campuses is broad, and CRLA members and leaders sought to establish criteria for excellence in mentor training of many kinds. In 1998 the CRLA Board endorsed new standards and guidelines for mentor training programs, creating what is now referred to as International Mentor Training Program Certification. Three levels of certification has been established. Level 1 - Certified Mentor; Level 2 - Advanced Certified Mentor; Level 3 - Master Certified Mentor. Students who achieve a Level 3 Master Certifcation at Austin Peay State University will have achieved 30 hours of training and 100 hours of mentoring experience with new students. Master level mentors are an elite group of our Peer Leaders that have gone above and beyond to support all students in succeeding at APSU. APSU values the Peer Leaders as connections to the university for new students and academic success mentors for all students.
