CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. — An exciting new era of Governors athletics begins tomorrow when Austin Peay State University introduces its 13th director of athletics at a 1:30 p.m., press conference in the Dunn Center front lobby.

During Tuesday's press conference, APSU will announce who will lead its Department of Athletics. APSU began searching for an athletics director in April when Derek van der Merwe was promoted from that position to vice president of Advancement, Communications and Strategic Initiatives.

After an extensive national search, four finalists were interviewed on campus earlier this summer for the top athletics position.

The public is invited to tomorrow's press conference and to meet APSU's new athletics director. In addition, the press conference will be streamed live on the OVC Digital Network (http://www.ovcdigitalnetwork.com).
