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.
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 and 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.

Danbury, Conn., where she mentored
dozens of young golfers, coached
high school golfers and taught several

the Danbury High School girls team to

Appalachian’s Home Courses
Draper Valley Golf Club
Draper Valley Golf Club is situated on land deeply rooted in primitive and early Virginia history. Evidence
discovered during course construction shows that primitive man had selected this site for settlement several
thousand years ago. John Draper and William Ingles were the first permanent settlers on the waters of the
New River originally settling at Draper Meadows, the current site of Virginia Polytechnic and State University.

Mimosa Hills Golf and Country Club
Donald Ross, the famed Scottish-born golf course architect, created Mimosa Hills Golf and Country Club in
1929, taking painstaking advantage of Morganton’s natural beauty and phenomenal panoramic mountain
views. We recently completed a thorough restoration of the entire course, preserving the integrity of his
design while keeping an eye on the future of the game. Visit Mimosa Hills Golf and Country Club — where
history and tradition meet timeless perfection. The Blue Ridge Mountain skyline that captivated Ross provides one-of-a-kind backdrops for golfers. Seven holes lead back to the clubhouse.

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 more than 16,600 students
both on and off campus. Appalachian is considered a preeminent university combining 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 area 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, rigorous scholarship, and
transformational 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 have earned both the Southern Conference’s Commissioner’s Cup for overall excellence in men’s
athletics 29 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 football, the Mountaineers won three consecutive NCAA
Division I FCS national championship titles – in 2005, 2006 and
2007.
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 Spring 2009, 44 student-athletes
made the Southern Conference’s academic all-conference
team. To be eligible, a student-athlete must possess at least a
3.2 cumulative grade point average. One Mountaineer had a 4.0
GPA.

Chancellor
Dr. 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 1163 and grade point averages at
3.87.
Since Chancellor Peacock assumed office, Appalachian has raised $68 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. Additionally, under Chancellor Peacock’s leadership,
more than $300 million in capital improvements and new construction has been completed or is in
progress.
Prior to his appointment as chancellor, 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 their 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.
Chancellor Peacock serves on the NCAA Division I Presidential Advisory Group, Appalachian Regional Healthcare Foundation Board of Directors, Homes for Children Board of Directors, Leadership North Carolina Board of Directors, and he chairs the North Carolina Campus Compact
Executive Board. He has been named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary Foundation of Rotary International. He also is the recipient of the Golden
Eagle Award for Leadership from AdvantageWest and the L. Richardson Preyer Alumni Award from Leadership North Carolina.
In addition, the Peacocks are involved in a variety of civic/community programs and activities. Chancellor Peacock is a native of Rocky Mount.
He and his wife, Rosanne, have two grown sons.
FROM THE DESK OF THE CHANCELLOR ...
There’s a fresh, new excitement buzzing within 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. The Kidd Brewer Stadium Complex behind the west-side
stands exemplifies Appalachian’s progress in enhancing its athletics facilities. All 20 varsity sports benefit from the facility’s new locker rooms,
study areas, and strength and conditioning rooms. There are also new concessions and restroom areas for our fans. I thank our faculty, staff,
students, loyal alumni and friends for their support in making this impressive facility possible.
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 29 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.
For all students, 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 Personal Finance magazine has recognized Appalachian in its list of the nation’s top 100 values in public colleges and universities in 2008-09. 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. Construction
of a model house on campus to test innovative technologies and building practices is an example of the energy solutions for which Appalachian is becoming known. In addition, our students are committed to sustainability – as evidenced by their self-imposed Renewable Energy
Initiative fee that supports projects such as the installation of solar panels at Raley Hall and a solar thermal system for providing hot water to
Plemmons Student Union.
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 and Appalachian grew up together in the secluded wilderness, with few roads and no railroad linking them to the communities that lay in pockets below. This relative isolation allowed both town and school to develop strong character through overcoming
adversity and created a unique heritage for both.
Boone is now a bustling university town 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 unique shopping bring visitors from all over the world to experience the friendly,
welcoming face of this mountain town.
Boone enjoys a low rate of unemployment with the university as its 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, celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2009. Notable performers include Lily Tomlin, Branford Marsalis,
Paul Taylor Dance Company, London City Opera, Andre Watts, 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.
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.
