During the month of November, Austin Peay State University student-athletes will be giving back for a Month of Thanks. Spearheaded by Haley Meier in Student-Athlete Support Services, every program has identified and planned to do something to help out in the local and on-campus community to make things a little brighter for their neighbors. Check here all month to see what your favorite student-athletes have been doing to make Clarksville a better place.

As we opened the month with our food drive, it's only right to see the fruits it bore as we end our month. A great job by our women's basketball team, and all the programs and Peayple who did a little to make Austin Peay and Clarksville shine brighter over the last month.
