Austin Peay names Deaton new Admissions Director
Austin Peay State University announces the selection of a new Director of Admissions. Tapping its own internal talent pool, Amy Deaton has been named the new University Admissions Director. For almost 16 years, she worked as an admissions counselor.
Deaton, of Clarksville, was recently named to her new position by APSU officials. She has worked as interim director since August 2011. Denton said she is eager to help continue the enrollment growth seen in recent years at The Peay.
“I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue to lead the Office of Admissions in recruiting and admitting quality students to Austin Peay State University. “My goal for the Office of Admissions is to use technology to create a high-touch environment of customer service that enables students to reach their educational goals. It is a very exciting time at Austin Peay and I look forward to promoting our wonderful programs and contribute to the growth of this University,” Deaton said.
Deaton came to Austin Peay in May, 1996. After working as an admissions counselor for two years, Deaton was hired as the admissions manager at APSU. She then served as the assistant director from 2000-08. Until mid-2011, she was the associate director before assuming interim director duties.
A native of Calvert City, Ky., Deaton earned a Bachelor of Science in biology from Kentucky Wesleyan College in Owensboro and a Master of Science in health services administration from APSU.
