2015 APPALACHIAN STATE BASEBALL
BEAVER FIELD AT JIM AND BETTIE SMITH STADIUM Located behind the Broyhill Center on the Appalachian State University campus, Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium has been the home of Appalachian State baseball since 2007. Construction on Smith Stadium began in fall of 2006 and was completed in three phases. The Beaver Field playing surface, along with team dugouts and the indoor hitting and pitching facility, were completed in the spring of 2007, allowing the Mountaineers to host 12 games at its new home that season — including a 6-1 victory over Gardner-Webb in the first contest ever played at the facility on April 10, 2007. Smith Stadium’s lights also allowed for night baseball to be played on Appalachian State’s campus for the first time in ‘07. Prior to the 2008 campaign, the stadium’s 1,000 permanent seats were erected and the Mountaineers played their entire home slate at the ballpark, posting a 13-11 mark at home. The squad capped their first full season at Smith Stadium with wins in eight of their final nine home contests of the season, including a three-game sweep of firstplace Furman in May. Construction wrapped up at the sparkling new baseball palace prior to the 2009 season, giving Appalachian State one of the nation’s finest collegiate baseball facilities for both players and fans. The new digs have proved to provide the Mountaineers with one of the nation’s top home-field advantages, as they are 117-62-1 (.652) all-time at the facility, including a a string of 19-straight wins from March 22, 2009-March 20, 2010 that was the nation’s longest home winning streak until it was snapped nearly a full year after it began. Appalachian was also a stellar 24-2 at home in 2012. Amenities of the $5 million ballpark include: • BEAVER FIELD, a state-of-the art FieldTurf playing surface that allows for consistent play the same no matter the weather conditions and for games to be contested following weather that would leave most natural surfaces unplayable. • BEAVER CLUBHOUSE, which features: • a roomy players locker area with lockers and showers for 35 players, two televisions and state-of-the art surround sound system. • coaches offices and locker room, each of which also include televisions. • a full-service training room, complete with hydro-therapy station and television. • the Tomikaze Lounge, named in honor of former Mountaineer Tom Prosser, which includes leather furniture and flat-screen television for players and guests. • DON AND PAT PHILLIPS INDOOR HITTING AND PITCHING FACILITY, which recently underwent a full renovation and includes two batting cages and pitcher’s mounds, multiple individual hitting and pitching skills stations and video analysis equipment to allow for year-round training. • CHAIRBACK SEATING FOR 827 INSTALLED PRIOR TO THE 2015 SEASON, which added to the fan experience by eliminating bleachers in Smith Stadium’s permanent seating areas. Grass seating can accommodate hundreds more fans down the right-field line. •
PRESS BOX, CONCESSIONS AND SOUVENIRS BUILDING that also doubles as a grand entrance to the stadium complex from the parking level.
• DAKTRONICS SCOREBOARD AND MESSAGE CENTER AND STATE-OF-THE-ART CRESTRON SOUND SYSTEM to keep players and fans informed and entertained before, during and after the game.
Newly renovated Smith Stadium now features chairback seating throughout the 827-seat facility with grass seating down the right-field line that can accommodate hundreds more fans.

2015 APPALACHIAN STATE BASEBALL
SEASON PREVIEW It’s a historic season for Appalachian State University baseball, as it begins its first campaign in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt Conference. Appalachian State is coming off an uncharacteristic 21-34 campaign a season ago. A primary culprit for the program’s first sub-.500 record in eight years was a grueling early schedule that included the seven of the first eight games of the season coming against nationally ranked opponents and 10 of the first 11 contests being played against clubs from the SEC, ACC and Big Ten. With the ultra-difficult slate, Appalachian stumbled to a 1-11 start and was never able to climb back to .500. While not as front-loaded with SEC and ACC powers as it was in ’14, Appalachian State’s schedule remains one of the most challenging slates in the nation in 2015. Eleven of the Mountaineers’ 26 non-conference games will come against power-conference opponents in 2015, highlighted by a three-game series at 2014 regional champion Maryland and single games against local powers South Carolina, North Carolina and NC State. However, despite the grueling non-conference slate, the most challenging aspect of the 2015 schedule may be the move to the Sun Belt Conference. Headlined by UL Lafayette, which spent much of last season ranked No. 1 nationally and fell just one win short of advancing to the College World Series, the Sun Belt is one of college baseball’s top conferences. The league was ranked No. 11 among all NCAA Division I conferences in last year’s Ratings Percentage
Index (RPI) and finished the previous campaign (2013) as the No. 5-ranked conference in the RPI. The 30-game Sun Belt schedule includes threegame series against each of the conference other 10 baseball programs. Highlighting the Sun Belt road schedule, Appalachian State opens conference play by traveling to Statesboro, Ga. for the second-straight year to battle longtime rival Georgia Southern (March 6-8). A visit by defending champion and preseason favorite UL Lafayette headlines the Mountaineers’ firstever Sun Belt home slate. Despite returning five starters to its lineup and three starting pitchers from a season ago, external expectations are generally not high for Appalachian State in 2015 either. The Mountaineers were picked to finish last in the Sun Belt’s preseason coaches poll and did not land anyone on the league’s preseason all-conference team. However, expectations are high within App State’s locker room. In large part, the confidence is bred by a potent veteran lineup that includes senior Michael Pierson and juniors Dillon Dobson and Jaylin Davis. Pierson (.343, 7 HR, 33 RBI in 2014) and Dobson (.299, 11 HR, 39 RBI in ’14) earned first-team all-SoCon honors a year ago while Davis is ranked as the Sun Belt’s No. 3 MLB Draft prospect by Baseball America. On the mound, Appalachian State returns three members of its four-man starting rotation from a year ago but only one of them is slated to be in the rotation this weekend in Raleigh. Senior LHP Jeffrey Springs leads the way after serving as the Mountaineers’ No. 3 (Sunday) starter in ’14.
Despite a 2-5 record, Springs was at his best when the competition was highest last year, turning in stellar performances against NC State, Notre Dame and South Carolina. In his last outing of the season, the southpaw allowed just three hits in eight innings against Furman in the second round of the SoCon Tournament, an effort that earned him all-tournament recognition. Sophomore RHP Sean Mason, who was the Mountaineers’ mid-week starter last season, is expected to move to the back end of the bullpen in 2015 and senior RHP Jamie Nunn, a first-team all-conference performer two seasons ago, is still recovering from arm issues that plagued him in ’14 and is not yet ready for game action. In their stead, Appalachian will turn to a plethora of talented youngsters to make up the starting rotation around Springs. Sophomores Brian Bauk (RHP), Dallas DeVrieze (LHP) and Matt Brill (RHP) and freshmen Travis Holden and Reed Howell (both RHP) will all be in the mix to fill roles in the starting rotation. Injuries are a big storyline for Appalachian State heading into the 2015 campaign. In addition to Nunn, senior third baseman Noah Holmes, junior first baseman Alex Leach and sophomore Tyler Stroup, all expected to be big contributors to the lineup in 2015, will be shelved at the beginning of the season due to shoulder, hip and leg ailments, respectively. Additionally, senior closer Robert Whaley will not be with the team at the beginning of the campaign due to a personal issue.

HEAD COACH BILLY JONES 56
BILLY JONES
HEAD COACH • THIRD SEASON • OREGON STATE, 2001 Billy Jones is in his third season as head baseball coach at Appalachian State University. A 20-year coaching veteran, Jones came to Appalachian State on July 6, 2012 after spending the previous 14 seasons as a coach at four of college baseball’s most elite programs — Oregon State (1999-2000), Arizona State (2001), NC State (2002-04) and Oklahoma State (2005-12). In two seasons at the helm of the Mountaineers, Jones has coached five allconference performers (including first-team honorees Dillon Dobson and Michael Pierson in 2014), an all-region selection (Hector Crespo in 2013) and one of only three freshman all-Americans in Appalachian State history (Jaylin Davis in 2013). Following Jones’ first season at the helm, a school-record-tying four Mountaineers were selected in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. Additionally, current Mountaineer Matt Brill, a Jones recruit, was selected in the 24th round of the 2013 MLB Draft but chose to delay his pro career to attend Appalachian. Despite challenging his club with grueling schedules since his arrival in the High Country, Jones has recorded 51 victories as Appalachian State’s head coach, including an impressive 30-win campaign in 2013. He has also led the Mountaineers to postseason wins following each of his first two campaigns, including a berth in the Southern Conference Tournament semifinals in ’13. Prior to taking the reins at Appalachian State, Jones served as Oklahoma State’s recruiting coordinator while working directly with the Cowboys’ hitters and outfielders for eight seasons. He helped lead OSU to eight-straight winning campaigns, six NCAA Regional appearances, an NCAA Super Regional and a Big 12 Tournament championship. The Cowboys notched three 40-win campaigns, closed the season ranked among the nation’s top 25 three times and finished among the top four in the ultra-competitive Big 12 on five occasions during Jones’ eight years with the program. As Oklahoma State’s recruiting coordinator, he led the efforts to bring 33 eventual Major League Baseball draftees and four future all-Americans into the program. Among his most notable recruits were first-team all-Americans Tyler Mach, who was selected in the fourth round of the 2007 MLB Draft by the Philadelphia Phillies and Andrew Heaney, who was selected No. 9 overall by the Miami Marlins in the 2012 MLB Draft. He also recruited Jason Hursh, the 31st overall selection of the Atlanta Braves in last year’s MLB Draft. In all, Jones recruited and coached the only Big 12 Player of the Year (Mach - 2006), Big 12 Pitcher of the Year (Heaney - 2012), Big 12 Newcomer of the Year (Zach Johnson - 2011) and Big 12 Freshman of the Year (Corey Brown - 2005) in OSU history. Seven players that he coached at OSU have gone on to play in the Major Leagues, which is more Major Leaguers than any other Big 12 program produced from 2005-12. Prior to his arrival at Oklahoma State, Jones was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at NC State from 2002-04. His reputation as one of the nation’s top recruiters began at NC State, where he brought in 21 players that would go on to be selected in the MLB Draft and six that would earn all-America recognition. On the field, the Wolfpack put together three-straight winning seasons and earned two NCAA Regional berths with Jones on the bench, highlighted by a 45-18 campaign in 2003 that culminated with the program’s first NCAA Regional championship since 1968. For his efforts at NC State, Jones was named one of five finalists for Baseball America’s National Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2003 and was promoted to assistant head coach for his final season in 2004. His Division I coaching career began with two seasons as an assistant coach at Oregon State (1999 and 2000), followed by one season at Arizona State (2001), coaching infielders at both schools. Following his only season at Arizona State, he served as head coach of the Brewster Whitecaps of the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League in the summer of 2001, where he was also selected to manage in the CCBL’s annual all-star game. Jones started his coaching career in 1995 at Green River Community College, in Auburn, Wash., serving as an assistant coach for two seasons (1995-96) before taking over as head coach for the 1997 and ‘98 campaigns. He was named the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAACC) Western Region Coach of the Year after leading the Gators to a regional championship in 1998, when his squad hit .342 with 60 home runs in just 36 games and 11 players earned all-region recognition. He also coached the Western Region club to victory in the 1998 NWAACC all-star game. Well-respected throughout the baseball community, Jones added to his already impressive resume in the summer of 2014 when he was selected to serve as manager for USA Baseball’s 17-U national team for a series against visiting Chinese Taipei in Cary, N.C. A native of Kent, Wash., Jones played collegiately at Lower Columbia College in Longview, Wash., where he hit .433 as a freshman in 1988, and Bellvue Community College in Bellvue, Wash. before transferring to NCAA Division I Southwest Texas State (now Texas State) for his senior season. He earned a bachelor of science in liberal studies from Oregon State in 2001. 6

ASSISTANT COACH • THIRD SEASON • NC STATE, 2009
ASSISTANT COACH • THIRD SEASON • NC STATE, 2008
Michael Rogers, a two-time all-America pitcher at NC State and six-year professional baseball veteran, is in his third season as an assistant coach at Appalachian State University. He serves as the Mountaineers’ pitching coach. In Rogers’ first season (2013), Appalachian State’s pitching staff ranked among the Southern Conference leaders in most statistical categories, allowing the second-fewest runs, earned runs, doubles and home runs in the league. Under Rogers’ tutelage, sophomore Jamie Nunn earned first-team all-conference recognition, junior Tyler Moore was named the SoCon’s Pitcher of the Month in May and two Mountaineer hurlers — Rob Marcello (17th round - Philadelphia Phillies) and Sam Agnew-Wieland (24th round - New York Yankees) were selected in the 2013 Major League Baseball Draft. Despite overseeing a young, injury-riddled pitching corps in 2014, Rogers’ staff ranked sixth in the SoCon in ERA and allowed the third-fewest hits and runs in the league. Under Rogers’ tutelage, sixth-year senior Tyler Moore, a former walk-on, became the staff’s workhorse, setting a school record with 103.0 innings pitched and going the distance five times in 15 starts, good for the most complete games by a Mountaineer in 18 years. Rogers is reunited at Appalachian State with head coach Billy Jones, who was an assistant coach at NC State when Rogers was a member of the Wolfpack’s starting pitching rotation from 2002-04. After a promising true freshman campaign was cut short due to injury, he went on be named a freshman all-American as a redshirt frosh in 2003 and earned third-team all-America accolades in both 2003 and 2004. He was also a two-time all-Atlantic Coast Conference honoree, a five-time ACC Pitcher of the Week and was named National Pitcher of the Week as a sophomore in ‘04. The Oakland Athletics selected Rogers in the second round of the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft (49th overall) and he spent four years in the A’s organization (2004-07), amassing over 430 innings while reaching the Double-A level. He also spent two seasons in the independent professional ranks with the Sussex Skyhawks of the Can-Am League (2008) and Rockford Riverhawks of the Frontier League (2009). After retiring from professional baseball, Rogers served as a pitching instructor with ITS Baseball in Durham and USA Baseball before opening the Michael Rogers Baseball Academy in his hometown of Hamilton, N.J. in 2010. He served as the academy’s owner and operator for two years, providing individual, group and team pitching instruction to players ages 6-20, teaching coaching clinics and designing offseason and in-season pitching programs for pitchers. Rogers graduated from NC State in 2009 with a B.S. in parks, recreation and tourism management. He and his wife, Morgan (Appalachian State’s director of licensing), have two sons: Drew (4) and Chase (2).
A former standout player at NC State, Matt Payne is in his third season as an assistant coach at Appalachian State University. He works primarily with the club’s hitters. In his first two seasons at Appalachian State, Payne has coached four hitters that have earned all-conference recognition (including first-team honorees Dillon Dobson and Michael Pierson in 2014), an all-region selection (Hector Crespo in 2013) and one of only three freshman all-Americans in Appalachian State history (Jaylin Davis in 2013). Prior to his arrival at Appalachian, Payne spent two seasons as a coach in the junior-college ranks at Wilkes Community College (2011) and Catawba Valley Community College (2012). At CVCC, he helped lead the third-year program to a 40-16 record, NJCAA Region X championship and a berth in the Division II Junior College World Series. Working primarily with the Buccaneers’ hitters and infielders, he coached an all-American and five all-region honorees. Payne was a four-year letterwinner as a pitcher, outfielder and third baseman at NC State from 2005-08. He was a second-team all-Atlantic Coast Conference performer as a senior in 2008, when he ranked third in the league with a .412 batting average in conference games and also ranked among the top 10 in hits (47), runs (28), home runs (7), RBI (30), total bases (76), slugging percentage (.667) and onbase percentage (.468) in ACC play. He also tied for the team lead with nine home runs and paced the squad with 50 RBI overall. With the big senior season, Payne helped lead the Wolfpack to 42 victories and an NCAA regional championship, earning a spot on the regional’s all-tournament team in the process. Following the campaign, he was selected in the 34th round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates and spent two seasons in the Pirates’ organization before returning to North Carolina to begin his coaching career. A native of nearby Hiddenite, N.C. (Alexander Central H.S.), Payne graduated from NC State in 2008 with a B.S. in sports management.
Matt Payne played two seasons of professional baseball with the State College Spikes of the New York-Penn League after being selected in the 34th round of the 2008 MLB Draft.

Taylor Sandefur is in his first season as an assistant coach at Appalachian State University. Sandefur joins the coaching ranks after finishing his collegiate playing career at longtime Appalachian State rival Western Carolina in 2014. Sandefur was a pitcher for three seasons at WCU, compiling a 4-5 career record with 71 strikeouts over 38 appearances (19 starts). He suffered a devastating shoulder injury prior to his junior season that limited him to just 13.2 innings of work over the next two years (2012 and ’13). Plagued by the shoulder woes, Sandefur made the transformation to designated hitter as a fifth-year senior in 2014 and became one of the Southern Conference’s most feared hitters, batting .310 with five doubles, a home run and 13 RBI in just 84 at-bats. Despite the limited playing time, he was named second-team all-state by the North Carolina Sports Information Association and was one of 80 players on the initial watch list for the 2014 Gregg Olson Breakout Player of the Year Award. He also served as a team captain as a senior. A Mechanicsville, Va. native, Sandefur was a three-time all-district selection and four-time all-academic honoree during his prep career at Atlee H.S. Sandefur graduated from Western Carolina in 2014 with a B.S. in communication.

2015 APPALACHIAN STATE BASEBALL
SUN BELT CONFERENCE The Sun Belt Conference mantra “Together We Rise” exemplifies what has quickly become America’s most up-and-coming collegiate athletics conference. Founded in 1976, the Sun Belt has adapted and evolved in its nearly 40 year existence. The league was originally formed as a home for some of the nation’s premier mid-major basketball teams and it wasn’t until a number of changes and the demand for a higher national profile that the league began sponsoring football in 2001. Because of this decision to move the league in to the group of football playing conferences, the Sun Belt Conference has a permanent seat on the NCAA’s 18-member Board of Directors. As a result, the conference has a crucial voice on some of the most pressing issues in college athletics. With the 2014-15 year marking the debut of the College Football Playoff (CFP) the Sun Belt continues to find itself among the 10 premier college football conferences and the new system is guaranteed universal access based on performance – there are no automatic qualifiers for the playoff system. Additionally, the CFP will mean that a spot among the premier bowl games of college football will be guaranteed to the highest-ranked champion from the other “Group of Five” conferences: the Sun Belt Conference, American Athletic Conference, Mountain West Conference, Mid-American Conference and Conference USA. With the College Football Playoff included with the league’s other bowl arrangements, the Sun Belt Conference is tied to seven total bowl games. The R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, the GoDaddy Bowl, the Raycom Media Camellia Bowl, the Cure Bowl (debuting in 2015) all guarantee a home for a bowl eligible Sun Belt Conference team each year. And beginning with the 2016 season, the Sun Belt is also part of a rotation of conferences that will send a team to the Bahamas Bowl and the Miami Beach Bowl. The influx of bowl game opportunities comes at a time when the Sun Belt Conference is breaking win records year after year and the league is continually exceeding expectations. The Sun Belt’s 21 non-conference football wins in the 2013 season was a new record for the league - eclipsing the mark of 19 set the year prior. Additionally of note for the league’s non-conference win total was that the Sun Belt fared well against its peer opponents in the non-AQ BCS ranks. The Sun Belt finished a combined 8-1 against members of Conference-USA (4-1), the Mid-American Conference (3-0) and the Mountain West Conference (1-0). The Sun Belt also had the best overall non-conference win percentage when comparing the four non-AQ conferences. The 2013 football season also saw two teams take home bowl championship trophies, as UL Lafayette won its third consecutive R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl and Arkansas State won its second consecutive GoDaddy Bowl. Of course, football wasn’t the only sport that has seen recent success and all of the league’s sports have contributed to the “Rise” of the Sun Belt Conference. In men’s basketball, league newcomer Georgia State put together one of the best conference performances in league history in winning the 2013-14 Sun Belt regular season championship. UL Lafayette captured the league’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament in what was one of the most thrilling finishes to the Sun Belt championship game in recent memory. An influx of young coaches mixed with proven veterans makes both Sun Belt men’s and women’s basketball an exciting brand with vast potential. The Sun Belt Conference Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships were played in the hometown of the Sun Belt at Lakefront Arena this past March in what was the first of a three year deal that will have Sun Belt hoops in the “Big Easy” each March. Baseball and softball continue to be among the league’s standard-bearers for success as each continues to send teams on deep postseason runs and teams are easy to find in the national polls. In baseball, UL Lafayette held a unanimous No. 1 national ranking during the 2014 season and hosted an NCAA Tournament Regional and Super Regional. Not to be outdone, the UL Lafayette softball team also hosted the NCAA Tournament rounds and qualified for the 2014 edition of the Women’s College World Series. In recent years as many as four Sun Belt teams have advanced to the baseball postseason in a single year, while as many as three Sun Belt softball teams have accomplished that feat. While the accomplishments of the Sun Belt’s student-athletes and coaches deserve great praise, so to do the league’s administrators who have helped set the tone for the future of the conference. “We have never been as strong as we are now academically and financially and I believe we are getting stronger all the time athletically,” former Sun Belt Conference President and Troy University Chancellor Dr. Jack Hawkins, Jr. said recently. “I truly believe that the best is yet to come.” The Sun Belt Conference’s membership consists of 11 football members for 2014 – Appalachian State, Arkansas State, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Idaho, UL Lafayette, UL Monroe, New Mexico State, South Alabama, Texas State and Troy. UALR and UT Arlington compete in all-sports as non-football members while Idaho and New Mexico State are football only members. Prominent Sun Belt alumni include Lyndon B. Johnson, former President of the United States (Texas State), former All-Star baseball player Luis Gonzalez (South Alabama), former member of the United States Senate and House of Representatives John Breaux (UL Lafayette), country music superstar Tim McGraw (UL Monroe), Sun Belt Commissioner CEO of Duck Commander and Buck Commander Willie Robertson Karl Benson (UL Monroe) and DeMarcus Ware, an All-Pro NFL linebacker (Troy).

EDUCATING QUALITY CITIZENS AND LEADERS Appalachian State University is located in the Blue Ridge Mountains of 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. Boone now attracts those seeking a breathtaking location, adventure and a quality education. Appalachian is one of the 17 institutions in the University of North Carolina system and offers a challenging learning experience. The university combines a small-town atmosphere with a strong academic reputation. Appalachian’s academics are supported by an accomplished faculty, close, personal interaction between students and faculty, and intimate class sizes that average 26 students. Originally founded as a teachers college, Appalachian now cultivates leaders in business, science, the arts, communication, music, nursing, education and other careers. Innovation and creativity are hallmarks of Appalachian graduates, who are leaders in communities in North Carolina and around the world. Appalachian also emphasizes the importance of sustainability and service to communities, both locally and globally. Today, Appalachian is a leader in the fields of energy-focused sustainable technology and the health sciences. 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’s 410-acre main campus includes 22 academic buildings, a 210,000-square-foot library, 19 residence halls, three dining facilities and 11 recreational and athletic facilities. Appalachian also operates a living-learning center in New York City and off-campus programs in 10 counties through collaboration with area community colleges.
APPALACHIAN STATE 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 high academic quality and standards and the complete development of the student. Appalachian State University provides opportunity and encouragement for studentathletes 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 Appalachian 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 EXCELLENCE More than 450 student-athletes compete in 20 NCAA Division I varsity sports at Appalachian State University, 10 for men and 10 for women. Appalachian was a dominant force in the Southern Conference for more than 40 years before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014 – one of 10 conferences that are members of the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Nearly half of Appalachian’s student-athletes typically earned inclusion on the Southern Conference Academic Honor Roll, which requires a 3.0 grade-point average or higher while completing at least 24 hours in two semesters. SoCon success Before joining the Sun Belt Conference in July 2014, the Mountaineers won 34 Southern Conference Commissioner’s cups for overall excellence in men’s athletics, with 2013-14 being its ninth-straight year to win. No other school claimed the Commissioner’s Cup more than five times since it was first awarded in 1970. While in the Southern Conference, the Mountaineers earned 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, softball and men’s tennis. In football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA Division I FCS national championship titles in 2005, 2006 and 2007. • 96 – number of student-athletes earning Academic all-Conference honors • 42% – percentage of Appalachian student-athletes earning a place on the department’s Honor Roll, with a minimum GPA of 3.25 • 3.03 – student-athletes’ overall cumulative GPA following the conclusion of the 2013-14 academic year • 13 of 20 – the number of varsity programs at Appalachian with multi-year APR scores that exceeded the national averages for their respective sports (beginning with the 2009-10 acadmic year and ending in 2012-13) athletics administration, staff, coaches, programs and policies. The University’s policy of nondiscrimination 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 STATE 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.

BOONE, NORTH CAROLINA Boone lies in a small valley in the heart of the Southern Appalachians. It is named after the hunter and explorer Daniel Boone, who spent time in the region during the 1760s. Watauga County was formed in 1849 and the Town of Boone incorporated in 1872. 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,” U.S. News and World Report’s “10 Best Places to Retire in the U.S.” and SafeWise.com’s “50 Safest Cities in North Carolina.” Boone is a college town, home to Appalachian State University. Originally Watauga Academy, the institution was formed to educate the mountain children and to ultimately 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. The university serves as a top economic driver followed by a combination of tourism, small business and residential home construction. The Boone area is characterized by mountain culture and casual living. Outdoor activities, cultural events, local dining and unique shops attract visitors from all over the world year-round. From breathtaking scenic views to Boone’s eclectic downtown area, known as King Street, there is something for everyone. One of the highlights of downtown Boone is the university’s Turchin Center for the Visual Arts. It features six gallery spaces and a community education and outreach program. Its exhibitions focus on a blend of recent and historically important artwork and feature nationally and internationally renowned artists as well as many of the finest artists of the region. A wide array of quality arts and cultural events enhance the Boone community. The university’s month-long celebration of performing and visual arts, known as An Appalachian Summer Festival, has brought notable performers such as Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Charlie Daniels and the Glenn Miller Orchestra. During the academic year, Appalachian hosts the Performing Arts Series with artists such as Garrison Keillor and the National Symphony Orchestra. Boone offers an uncommon quality of life – that’s why many visitors come for a weekend and stay for a lifetime.

WHAT’S VISIBLE FROM KIDD BREWER STADIUM? State’s Largest Wind Turbine – This community-scale, 100-kilowatt wind turbine stands 153 feet and feeds enough electricity directly to the grid to power 15 homes. It was paid for primarily through student funds and in partnership with the university-affiliated utility, New River Light and Power. Aside from producing clean energy, the turbine serves as an educational monument to Appalachian’s ethic of sustainability. Howard Knob – Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an elevation of 4,420 feet and is known more commonly as Howard’s Knob. It was named for Benjamin Howard, a Revolutionary War loyalist who fled to a cave there to escape American patriots.

CHANCELLOR DR. SHERI N. EVERTS
Dr. Sheri N. Everts joined Appalachian State University as its seventh leader in July 2014.
