Austin Peay This Week: Don’t forget to power down before going home

As students and faculty prepare for the upcoming winter break at Austin Peay State University, a new internal campaign is asking them to help conserve energy before they leave. Last year, the University saved $1,000 every day through its conservation efforts, which translates to the electricity used by four households for an entire year. Before leaving campus, students living in residence halls are asked to: • Unplug all electronics. • Empty and unplug refrigerators. • Turn the thermostat to the lowest setting. • Close the blinds in their rooms. Faculty members also were asked to power down their offices for the winter break. The University will close on Wednesday, Dec. 23, for the winter holiday and reopen Jan. 4, but many faculty and students leave campus shortly after commencement on Dec. 11-12. For more information on this campaign, visit /sustainability/winter-break-energy-savings.php. Events this week before in-person classes end for the semester As the end of in-person classes at Austin Peay’s Clarksville Campus nears, the University’s organizations have a string of events planned to keep student spirits high. Here are events happening through this week: • GPC presents Alex Ahn at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, in Morgan University Center Rooms 303 and 305.
