Appalachian State University uses this page as a place for members of the “Appalachian Family” to connect and communicate. As in any family, sometimes discussions can get lively. Please remember to be respectful. If you wouldn’t stand up in front of a group of friends, family and strangers and announce it loudly and proudly, then you shouldn’t post it on the internet.
