2010 Preview

With a new coach and a new style of play to learn, the Appalachian State University women’s soccer team has a lot to look forward to in the 2010 campaign. Not only does the team return a strong core of veterans, the squad also brings in a talented of group of freshman that are looking to make things happen in their first year on campus. In addition to a new coach in Sarah Strickland who preaches defense and attacking, the Mountaineers welcome 10 newcomers to the squad, while returning 16 from last year’s contingent that went 6-9-4. Senior goalkeeper Caroline Clarke returns in goal for the Apps and will be looking to add onto her impressive 2009 season. Clarke tied the ASU singleseason record for most shutouts in a season with seven. With 87 saves last season, the Greenwood, S.C.-native moved into eighth all-time in singleseason accolades and her 215 career saves notched her a third-place spot in the ASU record books. In addition to Clarke in goal, the Apps have freshmen Amy Kolowsky and Jordan Hatton, who will be looking to be the final line of the defense. Junior Katy Dodd will also be looked to for leadership as she led the team with four goals and nine points, including two game winning goals. Dodd played in all 19 games last year, earning the starting nod in all 19. Dodd will also have senior Lindsay Jaffe, who appeared and started in all 19 games, as well. The back line will continue to have depth with the return of Nicole Martinez , Jaclyn Coggins, Christina Gilboy, Michelle Jewell and Sam McVeigh. Gilboy and Jewell combined have 32 games of experience under them, with Jewell getting 17 starts to her credit. Freshmen Kara Buono, Amy Werdine, Sonia Sanchez and Kimberly Kesler will all be competing for minutes on the field. Being a freshman on last year’s squad forced sophomore Sydney Hill to grow up quick last year, and she will be looked at to lead the team along the way. Hill played in 18 games last season, starting in 17 of those contests. Another one of those seven freshmen that saw significant minutes was sophomore Meggie Graham. The Marietta, Ga.-native saw action 17 games and has 16 starts in that span. Graham notched one goal and three points for her assist. The reigning SoCon all-freshman team member will

continue to keep adding depth to the Mountaineer front line. Taylor Dunlap will also be a driving force to score with her appearing in 19 games last season and starting in all 19. Dunlap had one goal to her credit, and was third on the team with 21 shots. Shannon Healy will be looking to make a solid last stand in her final season of competition. Healy attempted four goals last season in 13 matches, with three strikes being on goal. Hannah Coad brings back much needed experience, as well. Coad scored two goals last season. The Alpharetta, Ga.-native had nine SOG out of her total 12 shots attempted. The Mountaineers will also look to see Jordan Horvath, English Nethery, Mimi Kleitches, Sarah Tipton, Jordan Vezina and Sam Neill to get out on the field and be a bright spot for the offense. Appalachian opens the season on the road at the Winthrop Invitational on Friday, Aug. 27 facing Liberty and will face more tough competition at the Best Western Huntington Mall Invitational in Marshall on Friday, Sept. 3. Afer closing out their non-conference slate on Sept. 17 against Gardner-Webb, the Mountaineers will face College of Charleston at home on Sept. 25 to open their conference schedule. After tough road tests at Davidson (Oct. 8) and Samford (Oct. 15), the Apps will return home to face defending regular season champion UNCGreensboro (Oct. 24) and Western Carolina (Oct. 27) for their final homestand of the season.

ASU Soccer Stadium

Appalachian soccer beings its third season at the ASU Soccer Stadium at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex that was completed in 2008. The new constructed facility features artificial field turf as well as a picturesque panoramic view of the surrounding Blue Ridge Mountains. The facility is located at the High Country Soccer Association’s Ted Mackorell Complex off of Brookshire Road. There are also two other fields at the complex where the local high school team and HCSA teams play throughout the fall and spring. The stadium is now complete with bleachers available for 1, 000 spectators and a state of the art press box. ASU’s first game at the Appalachian Soccer Stadium was on October 2, 2008, a 1-0 loss to Furman. The Moutaineers picked up their first win at their new home on October 26, 2-1 over Chattanooga. In 2010, a new addition will be added to the complex. The addition will feature locker rooms for both the men’s and women’s teams. Each locker room will feature 30 lockers, showers, bathrooms, TVs and a sound system. Additionally, the structure will include a concession stand and restrooms for the public.

Southern Conference The Southern Conference, which enters its 90th season of intercollegiate competition in 2010, has become known as one of the nations’s leaders in emphasizing the development of student-athletes and defining the league’s role in helping to build lifelong leaders and role models. The Southern Conference has excelled as the premiere conference in the Football Championship Subdivision since earning that classification in 1981. The conference currently consists of 12 members in five states throughout the Southeast and sponsors 19 varsity sports and championships that produce participants for NCAA Division I Championships. The Southern Conference is the nation’s fifth-oldest NCAA Division I collegiate athletic association. Only the Big Ten (1896) , the Missouri Valley (1907), the Pacific 10 (1915) and the Southwestern Athletic (1920) conferences are older in terms of origination. Throughout its history, the Southern Conference has been an innovator in college athletics. The Southern Conference was the first “super conference” with its charter membership including the likes of Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina. The SoCon, as it has come to be known by headline writers throughout the country, is the league that gave birth to the three-point shot in college basketball and was the home of such sporting greats as Arnold Palmer, Jerry West and Charlie “Choo Choo” Justice. Academic excellence has been a major part of the Southern Conference’s tradition. League athleties have been recognized countless times on CoSIDA Academic All-America and district teams. A total of 19 RhodesScholarship winners have been selected from the conference. The Southern Conference office is located in the Beaumont Mill in Spartanburg, S.C. A textile mill that was in operation from 1880 untill 1999, the Beaumont Mill was renovated in 2004 and today offers the SoCon a first class meeting area as well as a spacious library for storage of the conference’s historical documents. Today, the league continues to thrive with a membership that spans five Southeastern states. Current league members are Appalachian State, College of Charleston, The Citadel, Davidson, Elon, Furman, Georgia Southern, UNC Greensboro, Chattanooga, Samford, Western Carolina and Wofford. The SoCon also sponsors two all-sports awards, the Commissioner’s Cup for men’s programs and the Germann Cup for women’s teams. In 2010, Appalachian claimed its 30th Commissioner’s Cup since 1972 and has won the Germann Cup eight times in school history. Appalachian is the only SoCon program to win both cups in the same year, a feat it has accomplished seven times.

DEBBIE RICHARDSON

Athletics Director NC State, 1990 Fifth Year

Senior Assoc. AD/SWA Auburn, 1975 15th Year

I

n his first five years at Appalachian State University, director of athletics Charlie Cobb has led the department to unparalleled success. The many achievements enjoyed by Appalachian athletics during the first 60 months of Cobb’s tenure include:

• • • • •

Three NCAA Division I football national championships — marking the first time that any program has ever won three-consecutive NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS — formerly Division I-AA) and the first NCAA football titles ever won by a team from the state of North Carolina at any level. Shattering football attendance records at Kidd Brewer Stadium with crowds surpassing “The Rock’s” permanent seating capacity for each of ASU’s 28 regular-season home games since Cobb’s arrival in 2005. A 298-percent increase in football season-ticket sales. Five-consecutive Commissioner’s Cup championships — recognizing the top overall men’s sports program in the Southern Conference. Two Germann Cup championships — recognizing the top overall women’s sports program in the SoCon. Thirty-five percent of the athletics department’s students making the Academic Honor Roll (minimum GPA of 3.25). Five teams (men’s basketball, women’s cross country, field hockey, women’s indoor and outdoor track and field) earning public recognition awards, based on being among the nation’s top 10 percent in their respective sports based on Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores. The Yosef Club, which provides scholarship and facility support for studentathletes, raising over $2.5 million for the first time in 2009-10. Despite the state of the economy, the Yosef Club has reached the $2 million threshold for donations three years in a row and rasied nearly $2 million more in 2009-10 than it did in any year prior a string of five-straight record years since Cobb’s arrival. Appalachian’s athletics annual budget increasing from $7.5 million in Cobb’s first year to nearly $13 million in 2010-11.

However, the most notable of Cobb’s many achievements has been the addition of first-class facilities that will give Appalachian the opportunity to be successful across the athletics spectrum for years to come. Facility enhancements totaling $50 million were completed in 2009, headlined by the 120,000-square-foot Appalachian Athletics Center. The seven-story complex, located behind Kidd Brewer Stadium’s west stands, includes new football offices and locker room, a strength and conditioning center, training facilities, academic study space and computer lab for all ASU student-athletes, as well as premium seating in the form of 600 club-level seats and 18 luxury suites. The facility enhancements also included other significant renovations to The Rock. A new ticket plaza, which serves as a grand entrance to the stadium, as well as ornamental fencing that replaced the chain-link barriers that used to surround the stadium and field were completed before the 2007 season, while a 4,400-seat upper deck on the stadium’s east side and substantial upgrades to the east and south concourses were completed prior to the ‘08 campaign. In addition to the renovations to Appalachian’s most visible athletics facility, the campaign has also produced new homes for Mountaineer baseball (Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium), softball (Sywassink/ Lloyd Family Stadium) and soccer (at the Ted Mackorell Soccer Complex), as well as the Apps’ first-ever indoor practice facility (Sofield Family Indoor Practice Facility) and renovations to Varsity Gym that have upgraded the facility to a premier practice and competition venue for ASU basketball, indoor track and field, volleyball and wrestling. With the $50 million in facilities enhancements, all 20 of Appalachian’s intercollegiate sports teams now practice and compete in facilities that have either been built or renovated in the last decade. While Cobb is quick to point out the “total team effort” put forth to achieve the many successes that have been enjoyed since he began his tenure as ASU’s director of athletics on July 1, 2005, it is the experience, vision and work ethic of the 42-year-old Cobb that has steered the Mountaineers to new heights. Prior to his arrival in Boone, Cobb was a member of the athletics department at North Carolina State University from 1998-2005. A four-year football letterwinner at NC State from 1987-90, Cobb served as the Wolfpack’s senior associate athletics director for external operations for the seven years prior to his arrival in Boone. In that role, he oversaw NC State’s marketing, ticket operations, media relations and student-athlete development operations, as well as serving on the department’s compact strategic planning initiative, gender equity and facilities committees. During his tenure, NC State increased football season-ticket sales by 87 percent and men’s basketball season-ticket sales by 121 percent. The combined ticket revenues accounted for an annual increase of over 86 percent for Wolfpack athletics, generating more than $6 million for the department. In addition, Cobb served as NC State’s administrator for baseball and women’s soccer, tournament manager for the 2004 NCAA men’s basketball first and second rounds at the RBC Center and the chair for the southeast region of the NCAA women’s soccer committee. Prior to returning to his alma mater in ‘98, Cobb spent six years in Atlanta, Ga., where he held positions with the Atlanta Sports Council, the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl and the Georgia Dome. As an assistant executive director for the Atlanta Sports Council and the Peach Bowl, he helped coordinate Atlanta’s bid for the 2002 NCAA men’s basketball Final Four and handled all game and event operations for the Peach Bowl. As sales manager for the Georgia Dome from 1994-97, Cobb helped procure events such as the Southeastern Conference football championship, the SEC and Atlantic Coast Conference men’s basketball tournaments, NCAA men’s basketball championship events, Georgia High School Association football playoffs, major concerts and other college and amateur sporting events. Cobb graduated with honors with a B.A. in business administration from NC State in 1990. A second-team all-ACC honoree at center as a senior, Cobb was an academic all-ACC selection and collected the prestigious Jim Tatum Award, presented to the ACC football senior with the highest grade point average, and the Bob Warren Memorial Award, given to the Wolfpack football player that displays the highest integrity and sportsmanship. After receiving post-graduate scholarships from both the ACC and NFL Charities, Cobb earned a master’s degree in sports administration from Ohio University in 1992. Cobb is married to the former Lindsay Brecher, who was an all-ACC goalkeeper for NCSU women’s soccer from 1988-90 and serves as an assistant coach for Appalachian’s women’s soccer program. The Cobbs have a 12-year-old son, Harrison, and a nine-year-old daughter, Branan.

EDUCATING NORTH CAROLINA’S CITIZENS AND LEADERS Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Boone, N.C. At an elevation of 3,333 feet, Boone began as a frontier outpost named after pioneer Daniel Boone, who first explored the area in the 1760s. Since that time, the area has attracted those seeking natural beauty, adventure and learning. Appalachian is a member of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system. The university offers a challenging and stimulating learning experience for nearly 17,000 students. Appalachian combines the best attributes of a small liberal arts college with those of a large, research institution. It is particularly known for its research and outreach in health-related fields and the areas of energy/environment/economics. Distinctively residential, the main campus encompasses 411 acres. It includes 19 academic buildings, 20 residence halls, four dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City. Off-campus programs are offered in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges. The university is characterized by close collaboration between students and faculty, quality academics, and life-changing co-curricular activities that develop graduates with real-world capabilities. Appalachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and service to communities, both locally and globally. Consistently ranked among U.S. News and World Report’s best public universities in the Southeast, Appalachian is also noted as a “best value” by Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine and other publications. Appalachian supports a broad-based athletics program, featuring 10 men’s and 10 women’s intercollegiate teams. The Mountaineers hold NCAA Division I status and have been members of the Southern Conference since 1971. The Mountaineers won their 30th Southern Conference Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s athletics during the 2009-10 academic year. The award was established in 1979. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles – in 2005, 2006 and 2007. The Germann Cup, which recognizes overall women’s excellence, has been won by Appalachian eight times since the award’s inception in 1987. This is the second-most in league history. Since joining the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers have captured league titles in football, men’s and women’s basketball, volleyball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track, wrestling, baseball, men’s soccer and men’s tennis. Appalachian’s student-athletes excel in the classroom as well as on the playing field. In the 2009-10 academic year, 69 student-athletes made the Southern Conference’s academic all-conference teams. To be eligible, a student-athlete must possess at least a 3.2 cumulative grade point average. One Mountaineer had a 4.0 GPA.

APPALACHIAN ATHLETICS MISSION STATEMENT The Department of Athletics at Appalachian State University believes in maintaining the intercollegiate athletics program as an integral part of the University’s overall program of education, with emphasis on and priority given to the high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for student-athletes to progress toward degrees of their choice and to develop athletic abilities in an environment consistent with high standards of academic scholarship, leadership and institutional loyalty. The Department of Athletics is committed to ensuring the general welfare of the student-athlete and to encouraging the highest standards of sportsmanship on behalf of student-athletes, the student body and the University’s supporters. The intercollegiate athlete representing ASU is both a bona-fide student pursuing a degree program and an amateur competitor. Appalachian Athletics is committed to insuring equitable recruitment, participation and treatment of individuals including members of under-represented populations through its athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of non-discrimination represents a moral and ethical, not merely a legal, imperative. The University has determined that its athletics program will meet the necessary qualifications, guidelines and funding to hold membership in Division I of the NCAA. The athletics administration, the faculty athletics representative and the Athletics Council work together to insure that all teams and coaches follow the rules and regulations governing this division. A sound program of intercollegiate athletics should benefit the institution through its effects on students, alumni ad the institution itself. Specifically, it should maintain and improve the loyalty and esprit de corps of the student body, and in strengthening the pride and enthusiasm of the alumni; it should serve as a favorable public relations factor and provide benefits to the participants.

APPALACHIAN ATHLETICS DIVERSITY STATEMENT Appalachian athletics promotes an inclusive culture that fosters equitable participation for student-athletes and equitable career opportunities for coaches, administrators and support staff from diverse backgrounds and perspectives.


POINTS OF PRIDE OUTSTANDING FACULTY

CONTRIBUTORS TO KNOWLEDGE

Ninety-nine percent of Appalachian’s full-time faculty hold doctorate, first professional degree, or other terminal degree.

Each year, Appalachian receives $12-14 million in external grants and contracts, which fund research projects that improve lives in North Carolina, across the nation and around the world. Appalachian values undergraduate research, so many of these projects generate special opportunities for students.

SMALL CLASSES, PERSONAL ATTENTION Personal attention from faculty is a hallmark of the Appalachian experience. Classes average 26 students. This close-knit “community of learners” contributes to Appalachian having a freshman-to-sophomore retention rate of nearly 87 percent.

STUDENT SATISFACTION Appalachian ranks No. 7 out of 592 schools in MyPlan.com’s student rankings for “Overall Satisfaction & Happiness with Choice.”

COMPREHENSIVE DEGREE OFFERINGS Appalachian offers more than 140 undergraduate and graduate major programs through its College of Arts and Sciences, College of Fine and Applied Arts, Reich College of Education, Walker College of Business, University College, Hayes School of Music, College of Health Sciences and Cratis D. Williams Graduate School. Appalachian also offers a doctorate of education.

INTERNATIONALLY CONNECTED With study abroad opportunities on nearly every continent, Appalachian students have access to approximately 200 foreign sites for semester and year programs of study.

ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE CAMPUS The Princeton Review’s 2010 “Guide to 286 Green Colleges” included Appalachian among the nation’s most environmentally responsible campuses. Appalachian’s sustainability ethic is evident through an electricity-generating wind turbine on campus, a biodiesel-powered public transportation system, research and academic degree programs that focus on issues related to energy, economics and the environment, as well as a commitment to new buildings that are efficiently designed and LEED® certified.

AN EDUCATION LEADER The Reich College of Education provides the most teacher education graduates of all University of North Carolina campuses – 16 percent of beginning teachers are prepared by Appalachian. The college’s new building under construction should be complete by summer 2011.

PASSIONATE AND SUCCESSFUL ALUMNI Appalachian has more than 99,000 living alumni, 70 percent of whom have remained in North Carolina after graduating. They are leaders in their communities and professions, exemplifying how Appalachian can and does make a difference in the world.

CHANCELLOR KENNETH E. PEACOCK Dr. Kenneth E. Peacock became Appalachian State University’s sixth chancellor in July 2004. During his tenure, Appalachian has experienced significant growth in several areas, and the quality of the university’s academic programs has continued to advance, directing extensive national attention to Appalachian. The university has become a destination of choice among the brightest and best high school graduates, with freshman SAT scores averaging 1158 and grade point averages of 3.92 in the 2009-10 academic year. Since Chancellor Peacock assumed office, Appalachian has raised more than $65 million in private funding. Appalachian ACCESS, a university scholarship program offering North Carolina’s low-income students living at or below the poverty level a four-year university education debt free, was first awarded to members of the freshman class in 2007. Capital improvements and new construction under Chancellor Peacock’s leadership has included the Student Recreation Center, Central Dining Facility, Athletics Center, residence hall renovations, steam system upgrades and the opening of Belk Library and Information Commons. Construction projects currently under way include a new college of education building, new on-campus housing, a facility for the Heltzer Honors Program and an expansion to Plemmons Student Union. Prior to his appointment as chancellor, Dr. Peacock served at Appalachian as interim provost and executive vice chancellor. He joined the faculty in Appalachian’s Walker College of Business in 1983, was appointed assistant dean of the business school in 1987, associate dean in 1989, and served as dean of the college from 1992-2003. Previously, he taught at the McIntyre School of Commerce at the University of Virginia and worked for the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse & Co. in its Winston-Salem and Charlotte offices. Chancellor Peacock received his undergraduate degree in accounting at Mars Hill College and his master’s and doctorate degrees in accounting at Louisiana State University. In September 2006, he received the Outstanding Alumnus Award from Mars Hill College. He is a native of Rocky Mount. He and his wife, Rosanne, have two grown sons, Chris and Brian. Chancellor Peacock serves on the NCAA Division I Presidential Advisory Group, Appalachian Regional Healthcare Foundation Board of Directors, Homes for Children Board of Directors, Leadership North Carolina Board of Directors, and he chairs the North Carolina Campus Compact Executive Board. He has been named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. He also is the recipient of the Golden Eagle Award for Leadership from AdvantageWest, the L. Richardson Preyer Alumni Award from Leadership North Carolina, and a visionary leadership in education award from the Caldwell County Chamber of Commerce. In addition, the Peacocks are involved in a variety of civic/community programs and activities.

FROM THE DESK OF CHANCELLOR PEACOCK ... Kidd Brewer Stadium—also known as “The Rock,” a fitting term for the solid preparation our student-athletes achieve during their time at Appalachian State University—is filled with excitement in anticipation of another great season of Mountaineer football. I join you in taking great pride in our outstanding athletic facilities which were opened only a year ago and benefit the student-athletes and coaches of all 20 varsity sports. These facilities were a long-time coming, and I appreciate the cooperation and patience our students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends offered while the project was completed. It was definitely worth the wait. Under the complex’s “Big A” sign, there’s a lot to cheer about: The Mountaineers have earned both the Southern Conference’s Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s athletics 30 times since the award was established in 1979 and the Germann Cup, recognizing the top women’s program in the conference, six of the 18 years the award has been presented. In addition, our student-athletes consistently make the Southern Conference’s Academic Honor Roll, and all 20 varsity athletics teams continue to rate at or above national and Southern Conference averages in the NCAA’s Academic Progress Rate (APR). Our strategic plan states that Appalachian aspires to be a model 21st-century, nationally recognized university combining the best characteristics of a liberal arts education with the opportunities afforded by many research institutions. We are committed to attracting, educating and graduating the best students and to producing the highest levels of scholarship. Appalachian, an influential world citizen preparing students for life in global and local communities, remains an excellent value. Once again, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine has recognized Appalachian in its list of the nation’s top 100 values in public colleges and universities in 2009-10. Kiplinger’s rankings are based on a combination of outstanding academic quality and an affordable price tag. We are also committed to improving citizen’s lives in this region, state and nation through research, such as the federally-supported AppalAIR project that monitors air quality and atmospheric conditions and their impact on the region’s ecosystems and climate. Additionally, Appalachian was one of 20 universities selected worldwide to participate in the 2011 Solar Decathlon competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy. This prestigious design competition will take place on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., in October, 2011. The newly remodeled Frank Hall, a 203-bed residence hall, has been awarded LEED® gold certification, the nation’s preeminent program for the design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings. Our commitment to providing quality healthcare professionals was demonstrated when Appalachian’s new College of Health Sciences officially began operating this past July and its Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program was accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) for five years, the longest period of time for which CCNE grants accreditation to a new program. The program admitted its first students in May 2010. Notable scholarship, excellent teaching and meaningful service define this institution. Thank you for your continued support of Appalachian, and I hope you enjoy the game. With Mountaineer pride,

BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA Boone lies nestled in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians and is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Among its accolades are inclusion in National Geographic Adventure magazine’s “Best Places to Live and Play,” Norman Crampton’s “100 Best Small Towns in America,” USA Today’s “10 Great Small Towns with Huge Backyards” and U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. Appalachian State University began as Watauga Academy in 1899 to educate the mountain children and ultimately to prepare teachers for service through western North Carolina. It became Appalachian State Teachers College in 1929 and joined the University of North Carolina system in 1971. Boone is a college town in the best sense – where people say hello on the street and a vibrant downtown is mere steps from the university campus. It is characterized by beautiful mountain scenery, distinct four-season weather, mountain heritage culture and casual living – and it is the center of tourism and commerce for Watauga County and the surrounding High Country. Outdoor activities, cultural events, fine dining and eclectic shops bring visitors from all over the world. Boone enjoys a low rate of unemployment with the university as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. Boone is a year-round playground for business meetings and conferences, as well as leisure. The cool summers, dazzling colors of fall and serene winters offer something for every nature lover. An unusually wide array of quality arts and cultural programming enhance the Boone community. The university’s An Appalachian Summer Festival, a month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, has brought Lily Tomlin, Branford Marsalis, Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Andre Watts, Charlie Daniels, the Glenn Miller Orchestra and other notable performers. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. The jewel of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a robust community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of new and historically important artwork, and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life. That’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.
