Named in honor of John S. Ziegler, the first President of Austin Peay, the Ziegler Leadership Forum is the premier annual leadership event held each spring semester and is open to all registered APSU students to present and/or attend. The event includes a full leadership development experience following a specific theme chosen for the year. A committee of students are selected to work with the Office of Student Life and Engagement's Govs Lead staff planning, promoting and facilitating our annual Leadership Forum.
