All Things App State

Some things just say App State. A place. A word. An attitude. Together they shape the Mountaineer experience. Check out these — then add some of your own. You’ll be a Boonie before you know it.

Yosef

Beloved mascot since 1942.

The Rock

App State’s football stadium. Go ‘Neers!

Jimmy Smith Park

You’ll want lots of time to explore. (Tip: Google it before you go.)

Slacklining

Our way of balancing work and play.

Had enough?

Hammock — yes, it’s a verb at App State.

Howard’s Knob

Technically, it’s Howard Knob — no “S” — but let’s not go there. Do check out the park. Flatlanders’ alert: You gotta climb that hill.

Wind turbine

Spinning from the highest point on campus, it’s a reminder of the special place you’ve landed and how important it is that we take care of it.

Weather

We have that, too.

App State duck pond

Our ducks are happy ducks. They even have a house. The pond is also the site of the annual mid-winter Polar Plunge — a fundraiser for the Special Olympics. Get your brrrr on.

Shorts

They know no season.

 

Dave by the Bell

A sometimes fun, sometimes serious podcast of impromptu conversations with students about topics both timely and topical.
