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.
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.
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.
