Improving campus facilities enhances the quality and depth of the Appalachian educational experience. Projects such as Broyhill Music Center s professional recording studio will give students the opportunity to learn modern techniques in a real-world environment. Each year, thousands of alumni, parents and friends express their loyalty to the university through annual gifts. Such support for the ongoing operation of university programs is a fundamental goal of the campaign, encompassing An Appalachian Summer Festival, the Appalachian Fund and the Yosef Club. Appalachian is no exception - depend on unrestricted gifts to provide vital resources where, how and when they can make the most difference for both faculty and students.
Unrestricted support can be most beneficial at the departmental, college and university levels.
The explosion of communication and technology is changing the face of research and learning, resulting in an increased demand for access to documents, books and electronic databases. Supporting technology in the classroom and in the library ensures access to the most timely and accurate information available. In turn, Appalachian students graduate prepared for a world increasingly dependent on technology.
