Yesterday afternoon, we had the change to recognize 6 outstanding students at our 2026 Student Leadership Awards. These students were selected by their departments for their outstanding leadership qualities, academic achievements, and positive impact on the APSU community!
In the @CoALatAPSU, we tell our students that the abilities developed in our majors will be useful to employers in all types of careers. The Arts and Humanities help develop transferable skills. In today's episode you will hear how Danny built his career in higher education.
Today's Govs on the Go podcast features Danny Armitage, AVP in Student Affairs in Texas! Armitage is a 1993 graduate with a degree in Speech, Communication, and Theatre. Tune in to hear about what he says about the early days of APSU radio!
