2010 MOUNTAINEER FIELD HOCKEY 2010 SEASON OUTLOOK After achieving its highest season win total in five years, Appalachian State University field hockey looks to continue building the program with a mix of experience and a handful of newcomers. The squad wrapped up the season with a 6-15 mark after posting just seven wins over the previous three years. Fifteen letterwinners return, including eight of eleven starters, in an effort to earn the team’s first winning season since 2003. Brandi Alexander enters her fifth season as the Mountaineers’ head coach hoping this experienced group can advance atop the eightmember NorPac Conference. Alexander will call upon team captains Caitlin Counts, Lauren Kloeppinger and Bridgette Street to supply leadership throughout the 2010 campaign. “These three ladies are great leaders,” said coach Brandi Alexander. “They seem to step-it up in practice when needed and in return that makes the rest of the team work harder.”
DEFENSE The backline for ASU is anchored by junior Lauren Kloeppinger. Last season, the St. Louis, Mo. native started all 21 matches and was elected to the NorPac all-tournament team. Sophomore Casey Lammando returns after gaining an abundance of experience during her freshman stint where she started every game for the Apps. Lammando and junior Hannah Martin led the Black and Gold with three defensive saves each. Senior Katie Price will add defensive support after starting in 13 of her 17 match appearances last fall.
NEWCOMERS Appalachian adds four freshmen and one transfer to this year’s roster. Sophomore transfer Megan High comes to ASU from Catawba, where she started all 14 of their matches at forward and fired 11 shots on goal. Great Falls, Va. native Emily Knapp provides offensive depth after a senior season where she scored 15 goals and dished out seven assists. Knapp and High are accompanied at the forward position by Brooklyn Shearer of Chambersburg, Pa. Anna Long joins the Mountaineer midfield and was named the North Carolina Field Hockey Association Eastern Division Player of the Year during her senior season at Chapel Hill High.
Caitlyn Counts Lauren Kloeppinger
Nicole Morgan OFFENSE Senior forward/midfielder Nicole Morgan and sophomore forward Lisa Charney will be looked upon to carry the offensive load after being last season’s top scorers notching 12 points each. Morgan, a Virginia Beach, Va. native, led the Apps with six goals including two game winners. The 2009 first team all-conference selection also shot 60 percent with 12 shots on goal. Charney helped pilot last year’s attack by tallying five goals and tying for a team-leading two assists. Junior Kelly Allaband (5 pts.) and senior Christina Zanowicz (4 pts.) will provide additional offensive threat after each player netted two goals last fall. This pair of Maryland natives also combined for 21-of-26 shots on goal. Jenn Heiss and co-captain Caitlin Counts provide senior experience and depth to this offensive flurry with each appearing in 18 or more matches last year. Heiss, who is from Fairfax, Va., tied with Charney last season as the teams’ assist leaders (2).

GOALKEEPERS Junior Bridgette Street returns to the Mountaineers after posting a NCAA Division I leading 224 saves last season. The Stillwater, Pa. native’s single-season save count ranks her sixth all-time and boosts her career total to eighth all-time in ASU history. Street lead the conference with 11.2 saves per game and was second in save percentage (.767). Her efforts between the posts did not go unnoticed by the conference as she was voted the NorPac East Defensive Player of the Week four times. Sophomore Sarah Anderson and freshman Kara Eckert are slated to be Street’s back-ups.
Bridgette Street
OUTLOOK A much more experienced Appalachian State squad is looking to make some noise in the NorPac Conference this fall. “The team has progressed a lot from last year,” said head coach Brandi Alexander. “Since we have a lot of experienced and key players back from last season, we have been able to start with more advanced skills and concepts this preseason.” Alexander feels that the Mountaineers’ strengths this season will be its defense, leadership and fundamentals. On the contrary, Alexander still feels that there are certain areas that the Apps could improve on from last season. “There are statistical areas that we need to improve on, such as limiting shots against, gaining more offensive corners and finishing.” Appalachian field hockey begins the season against Ball State and Siena before their home opener against Towson on September 5. The team then travels back-to-back weekends to Pennsylvania before having their home stand against Georgetown and Limestone. NorPac competition starts on October 1 against Radford at Kidd Brewer Stadium. The Black and Gold’s toughest assignment will be traveling to take on 2009 NCAA quarterfinalist and preseason sixth-ranked Wake Forest on October 24. “I think that this year we will be close to the top of the East division and be an overall competitive team all season.”

BRANDI ALEXANDER
Head Coach Fifth Season at Appalachian Pennsylvania, 2003 Head coach Brandi Alexander enters her sixth season at the helm of Appalachian State’s field hockey program in 2010. Her 2009 squad posted a 6-15 record, marking the most wins for the program since 2004. Two Mountaineers earned all-NorPac honors in ‘09, bumping her total number of honorees to six in her tenure on the bench. Both Nicole Morgan and Jessie Harris earned first team accolades, marking the first time since 2003 for an ASU player to earn such high honors. Another hallmark of Alexander’s four previous squads at Appalachian has been excellence in the classroom. Nine players were named to the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) National All-Academic Team and the squad took home the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) National Academic Team Award. In four seasons at the helm, Alexander has had 50 NFHCA National All-Academic Team honorees, and recently posted a perfect 1000 multi-year Academic Progress Rate score for eligibility and retention of student-athletes. Prior to becoming head coach at Appalachian in 2006, Alexander served as an assistant coach at ASU under Mandy Latz in 2005. Before her arrival in the High Country, Alexander spent two seasons as a graduate assistant coach at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Mo. As a member of the staff at Lindenwood, Alexander helped guide the team to a winning record in each of her two years. In 2003, the Lions claimed the KIT Conference Championship and followed that in 2004 with an appearance in the Independent Schools Postseason Tournament. Alexander played collegiately at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was named the team’s Most Improved Player in 2001 and served as team captain in 2002. Alexander also participated with the University of Technology in Sydney, Australia.
THE ALEXANDER FILE
Alexander graduated from Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in classical studies in 2003. She received a master’s degree in sports management from Lindenwood University in June 2005.

2010 MOUNTAINEER FIELD HOCKEY NORPAC CONFERENCE Founded in 1982, the eight-member NorPac Conference competes at the NCAA Division 1 level in field hockey. At the end of the 2001 season, two NorPac teams were ranked in the NCAA top 20. Entering the 2008 season, the NorPac Conference is comprised of seven teams, Appalachian State, California, Davidson, Longwood, Pacific, Radford and Stanford. After fulfilling NCAA reclassification requirements, Longwood became eligible for its first conference tournament in 2007 and hosted the 2008 NorPac Championship Tournament.
In July 2008, the conference announced the addition of UC Davis as its newest member. The Aggies became eligible to compete in a full conference schedule, including the NorPac tournament, in 2009-10. In 2010, all eight institutions will compete in the NorPac Conference Championship Tournament at Davidson College. The NorPac Tournament Champion will advance to an NCAA play-in game against the winner of the America East Conference, with the winner advancing to the NCAA tournament.

2010 MOUNTAINEER FIELD HOCKEY ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE Appalachian State University field hockey not only takes pride in its accomplishments on the field, but for the performance of its student-athletes in the classroom as well. The Mountaineer program has established a tradition of academic success, and its scholastic achievements over the past 15 years rival that of any program in the country. Since 1994, ASU has placed 121 studentathletes on the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NHFCA) academic squad, including a record-tying 15 in 2008. To be eligible for the squad, a student athlete must have a GPA of 3.30 or higher. The 2008 and ‘09 squads were also honored with an NFHCA team award, in recognition of the team’s overall GPA above 3.0 Appalachian State University field hockey was honored in 2008 with an NCAA Public Recognition Award for its latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) score released by the NCAA. Teams honored by the NCAA earned multiple Academic Progress Report (APR) scores in the top 10 percent for the past four years. The most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2004-05, 2005-06, 2006-07 and 200708 academic years The Mountaineers have ranked in the top 10 percent of all field hockey squads to earn the distinction. The Apps were one of just 11 field hockey teams in the country to be honored and the lone squad from the NorPac. ASU was one of eight Southern Conference institutions to have a team honored with the Public Recognition Award . The APR is designed to provide a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete. The APR includes eligibility, retention and graduation in the calculation and provides a clear picture of the academic culture in each sport. High performing teams recieving awards posted APR scores ranging from 965 to a perfect 1000.

2010 MOUNTAINEER FIELD HOCKEY DR. JAN WATSON
ASU placed 57 players on the Deep South All-Star team during Watson’s tenure.
Field hockey was introduced at Appalachian State University in the fall of 1968. The first intercollegiate sport for the female population on campus, Appalachian’s field hockey program is one of the oldest in the state of North Carolina. The success of the field hockey program at ASU is a direct result of the hard work and dedication of Dr. Jan Watson. Dr. Watson served as head field hockey coach from the inaugural season in 1968 through 1972 and again from 1974 until 1983. Under Dr. Watson’s direction, ASU’s field hockey enjoyed an unparalleled level of success. In 15 years as head coach, she posted an impressive win-loss record of 157-65-32. Her 157 wins remain a school record.
Dr. Watson’s participation in college athletics goes far beyond her work at Appalachian. One of the most prominent advocates for the advancement of women’s athletics in the country, Watson co-founded the Deep South Field Hockey Association with Ruth Reid of Furman and also served as the association’s first president. Watson also served as treasurer of the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women, which disbanded in 1983. Dr. Watson was inducted into the ASU Athletics Hall of Fame in 2008.

The Dr. Jan Watson Endowed Scholarship In 1993, the Women’s Field Hockey Endowment was founded to provide a venue by which former players, friends, and supporters of the program could assist with the program’s scholarship efforts. In 1997, the endowment was renamed the Dr. Jan Watson Endowment for Field Hockey in recognition of the contributions Dr. Watson has made to the Field Hockey program at ASU. Currently, the endowment has a cash value of over $42,000 with an additional $30,000 in pledges resulting from the University’s “Campaign for the Second Century”.

2010 MOUNTAINEER FIELD HOCKEY DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS CHARLIE COBB
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 student- athletes, 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 studentathlete 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 bas-
ketball 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.

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 campus 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’s Knob – Located just a half mile from downtown Boone, this peak has an altitude of 4,420 feet. It was named for Benjamin Howard, a Revolutionary War loyalist who fled to a cave there to escape American patriots. Rich Mountain – One of 20 North Carolina mountains bearing this name, the Watauga County ridge extends northwest from Boone. It is named for its unusually fertile though rugged slopes.

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.

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.

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.
