  Spring break did not slow down the building and renovation projects we have underway. The demolition of Owens Field House continued and we’re making headway preparing for the new residence halls and parking deck. We have committed to these projects in order to ensure Appalachian’s future and maintain the university’s position as the premier, public undergraduate institution of higher learning in the state. You can be proud of your diploma and be assured that its value appreciates with these improvements — an investment totaling more than $250 million. It’s my pleasure to share an update on Appalachian’s future and these projects with you.

Some stayed in the area to work or use the quiet time for research and regrouping; some gave their time and talents to an Alternative Service Experience project; and some caught a few rays, caught up with loved ones or simply caught up on sleep. If you were one of the families that enjoyed a visit from your student, I hope it was a restful, restorative time, and that you heard about events and activities at Appalachian.

Given the level of their expertise, imagine the exponential impact of the 7,000-plus who are actively employed by schools in our state.
