Mountaineer Mark : A Senior Signature

The months and days are winding down for you seniors at Appalachian State University, and the time will soon come to graduate.

Your degree culminates a wonderful time in your life – one in which you grew personally and intellectually. We all know this would not have been possible without the nurturing environment that is Appalachian. So, in honor of your accomplishments, we encourage you to leave your mark on campus by giving to The Mountaineer Mark: A Senior Signature Campaign before you leave.

We are re-igniting the Senior Class Gift tradition by asking seniors to contribute to a campus beautification project. This year’s gift will be a labyrinth, to be constructed next to Belk Library and Information Commons. Long used as a meditation or prayer tool, the labyrinth represents life's journey. The circular path to its center is meandering but purposeful, and the same path leads back again to the outside world.  Appalachian’s labyrinth will create a calm, tranquil environment that will help students escape their many school-related pressures.

This year’s senior class will also purchase a brick in the plaza of the soon-to-be expanded football stadium to benefit the highly successful athletic program.

While any amount is appreciated, we ask seniors to contribute a gift of $30, the same amount as a single parking ticket. You can be sure that 100 percent of the collections from this campaign will directly benefit the university.

Appalachian has achieved its high academic reputation in large part to the financial contributions of alumni, and as seniors it is now time for you to begin contributing to the on-going success of your beloved Appalachian!
