Did a lot of organization, text, and link editing. Definitely looking better and better.
Reinserted some information about Appalachian state being the first North Carolina team to bring home a NCAA Football Championship. Elon may have won championships in 1980 and 1981, but it was during their NAIA years. Geologik 06:24, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Speculation exists that this university will change its name to 'University of Boone' (UNCB), can this be added to the main article?
The line about how the "Hot Hot Hot" video was a joke intended to poke fun at the food being too spicy at an event is not confirmed on the source that is listed. I've never heard this as the reason the video was created. Does anyone have an actual source for this? -- Punchinelli 14:57, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
The student life section is messy. The part about the High Country Sports Car Club seems to be more of an advertisement for that group. From my experience it wasn't anything worth noting. Mmmaaajjj2 ( talk) 22:30, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
Added this sections under Organizations. However, I may have dates wrong and possibly missed interims. Information is kind of hard to come by..hopefully there is someone else out there that can expand or correct what I've added. Geologik 02:17, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Very good, I just wrapped up my research on this. I have a 1986 Alumni directory on hand and verified the list as far as it took me. Harvey Durham was the second interim, due to medical conditions of the acting chancellor again. Dr. Cratis D. Williams is credited as "Acting Chancellor" in 1975 according to the Directory. I'm imagining a temporary leave of Wey? I'm placing it as this reads, and citing. Dankstick 19:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Most college and university articles at Wikipedia list their alumni without restricting the list to just those who have graduated. It would not be in their best interest eliminate non-graduates from the list of notable alumni because these colleges and universities wish to associate themselves with successful people. A simple search through Wikipedia reveals that there are some college and university articles who have made the distinction between graduates and non-graduates, and have made other categorizations of alumni as well....sports, arts, politics, etc. I trust that my constructive comments in this regard will not be again deleted from this Talk page by Geologik, as I see such deletions as vandalism and shall report it as such. Wikibones 21:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Geologik has deemed that the only Alumni to be listed in the Notable Alumni section can be graduates. He has therefore deleted valid alumnus entries at will. Read on please...
That is an interesting bit of trivia that an alumni not necessarily mean someone that had graduated. wikibones is right in the definition it seems. Takes a lot away from the prestige of being an alum. o well. In light of the definition, I move to place those good folks on the list. Dankstick 02:21, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Does this list needs some upkeep? I don't want to start nuking people i feel aren't important. NFL players, well known authors ok, but some of these i feel are too obscure for encyclopedic note.
Agreed, I think the list can be slimmed down a bit. Especially when stuff like the ASU student - almost mayor stuff is making it in.
Are there any guidelines out there?? Dankstick 03:05, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
I really don't think that club sports have a place in this article. Club sports are out of article scope, asu's are not noteworthy, "nationally recognized" "dominated" do not add to article and don't tell the reader anything. Sounds like salesman dribble. Dankstick 13:24, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
I think you've done a great job! Dankstick 13:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
One thing I noticed about Appalachian State from pictures and video is an unofficial emphasis on more traditional styles of dress than in most universities. Jeans seem to be uncommon here, especially among women. Men seem to often wear slacks or khakis and women usually wear long skirts. There isn't a section that I can find to insert this, so that makes me wonder, is the information useful? If so, where would I insert it and how would I go about it without it being construed as Vandalism? MVillani1985 19:18, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Lees-McRae College makes the same claim about being the highest university East of the Mississippi. Looks like it should be removed? -- Omarcheeseboro ( talk) 18:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Theater Department bit reads like an advertisement. It should be in a different section, maybe an academics section. ThirstyPapist ( talk) 13:44, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
See WP:SPLITLIST. This list has become long and is also only alphabetically sorted, meaning that athletes, entertainers, businessmen, and politicians are all jumbled in the same list when it would be better for them to be listed separately. However, I see no way to do this while keeping the list in this article. DavidSSabb ( talk) 15:54, 18 January 2014 (UTC)

Replace opening paragraph with this revision: Located in Boone, North Carolina, Appalachian State University /ˌæpəˈlætʃən/ ,[citation: https://ucomm.appstate.edu/](Appalachian, App State, App, or ASU) is one of 17 campuses in the University of North Carolina System. [citation: https://www.northcarolina.edu/]. Appalachian enrolls more than 19,000 students and has a low student-to-faculty ratio [citation: https://www.appstate.edu/about/] It offers more than 150 bachelor’s degrees and 70 graduate programs, including two doctoral programs. [citation: https://www.appstate.edu/academics/all/] The university was founded as a teachers college in 1899 by brothers B.B. and D.D. Dougherty and D.D.’s wife, Lillie Shull Dougherty. The university expanded to include other programs in 1967 and joined the University of North Carolina System in 1971. [citation: https://www.appstate.edu/about/history/] Under History, replace the first paragraph with this: Appalachian State University began in 1899 when a group of citizens in Watauga County, under the leadership of Blanford B. Dougherty and his brother Dauphin D. Dougherty, began a movement to educate teachers in northwestern North Carolina.[citation: https://library.appstate.edu/archives/firsthundredyears.html] Land was donated by Daniel B. Dougherty, father of the leaders in the enterprise, and by J. F. Hardin. On this site a wood frame building, costing $1,000, was erected by contributions from citizens of the town and county.[13] In the fall of 1899, the Dougherty brothers, acting as co-principals, began the school named Watauga Academy. The first year saw 53 students enrolled in three grades.[citation: https://library.appstate.edu/archives/firsthundredyears.html] D.D. Dougherty’s wife, Lillie Shull Dougherty, taught classes and contributed to administrative decisions. Under History, in the third paragraph remove this sentence: J.D Rankin's still lives on as a part of the campus, as one of the largest buildings is named after the interim-president, needing separate divisions to help new students find their way around the large building. Under History, in the fifth paragraph, remove this sentence: The Wey center is now the home of the Appalachian State Arts Department and large musical performances/ productions.
Remove citations 37 and 38, as those sentences have been removed. Replace the “Colleges” text with this: Appalachian State offers more than 150 bachelor’s degrees and 70 graduate programs, including two doctoral programs, through its College of Arts and Sciences, College of Fine and Applied Arts, Beaver College of Health Sciences, Reich College of Education, Walker College of Business, Hayes School of Music and Cratis D. Williams Graduate School [10]. It also has an Honors College for students interested in research, cross-disciplinary learning, and preparation for graduate or professional school. University College is the portal to academic success for all undergraduate students as they begin their Appalachian Experience with general education courses, and they benefit from the college’s other student support services and co-curricular programming throughout their time at the university. Replace the “Off-campus centers” section with this new updated section: App State Online Recognized as one of the top online education destinations in the country,[citation: https://today.appstate.edu/2019/01/15/best-online-programs?utm_source=enewsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=NewsDigest] App State Online offers flexible, interactive undergraduate and graduate programs that are regionally accredited and taught by the same faculty who teach on campus. Programs are designed to meet students wherever they are and help them gain the skills needed to change careers, advance in a chosen profession or gain personal insight. App State Online offers three modes of teaching delivery: online, hybrid and classroom-based at three main centers for classes: Appalachian Center at Hickory [citation: https://desites.appstate.edu/ala-partner-sites/13] Appalachian Center at Caldwell [citation: https://desites.appstate.edu/ala-partner-sites/12] Appalachian Center at Burke [citation: https://desites.appstate.edu/ala-partner-sites/11] Under Academics, replace the “Rankings and Recognition” list and related citations with these updated and time-relevant awards: U.S. News and World Report's 2020 rankings – [citation: https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/appalachian-state-2906/overall-rankings] U.S. News and World Report's “Best Online Programs” – [citation: https://today.appstate.edu/2019/01/15/best-online-programs] Niche’s 2019 Best Colleges in America rankings – [citation: https://www.niche.com/colleges/appalachian-state-university/] The Princeton Review’s “2020 Best Regional Colleges” - [citation: https://www.princetonreview.com/college-rankings/best-regional-colleges] Money Magazine’s “2019-20 Best Colleges Ranking” – [citation: https://money.com/best-colleges/] Kiplinger's "Best College Values" for 2019 – [citation: https://www.kiplinger.com/tool/college/T014-S001-best-college-values-college-finder/index.php#Table] Forbes' “America's Top Colleges 2019” – [citation: https://www.forbes.com/colleges/appalachian-state-university/#2aab34fe4770] VIQTORY (formerly known as Victory Media) Media's Military Friendly Schools® - [citation: https://today.appstate.edu/2019/02/01/military-friendly] SIERRA magazine's "Coolest Schools" for 2018 – [citation: https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/cool-schools-2018/cool-schools-2018-full-ranking] STARS® Gold rating for sustainability achievements – [citation: https://today.appstate.edu/2018/09/14/sustainability-efforts] Second Nature’s national Climate Leadership Award winner – [citation: https://today.appstate.edu/2015/10/08/climate-leadership-award/] The Princeton Review's 2019 “Guide to Green Colleges” – [citation: https://www.princetonreview.com/college-rankings/green-guide] Open Doors 2019 report on the nation's top institutions for the number of students who study abroad – [citation: https://www.iie.org/Research-and-Insights/Open-Doors/About-Open-Doors] References |

Is it truly necessary to mention that the university is referred to by “Appalachian, App State, App, or ASU”? It just seems like too many names. In my opinion, including “App State” as the only nickname would be the best choice. (*maybe* ASU as well, but ASU is largely claimed by Arizona State University.)

I added a page for ASU's SD program - my apologies to whoever linked to "sustainable development" in a general sense - I thought it made more sense to link to ASU's program. I also added a subsection under "Interdisciplinary Studies" for "Watauga College," a residential college within the university. Theosaslow 21:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
