Earlier this spring, Mountaineers showed up in a big way for Appalachian State Giving Day — 150+ donors helped raise nearly $50,000 for the Reich College of Education!

Every gift makes a difference — thank you for supporting our students, faculty, and programs! 💛🖤

[Appalachian State @appstate]

The results are officially in!

More than $2.8 million raised in support of university programs and initiatives by Mountaineers like YOU: students, faculty, staff, @AppAlumni and friends of the university.

THANK YOU! Let’s do it again next year!

Our students explored so many incredible architectural styles in Romania! From fortified churches to merry cemeteries, Transylvania's history is woven into the buildings and monuments found on nearly every street.

[AppState RCOE @AppstateRCOE]

Our students spent the day at Bran Castle! Often linked to Dracula, the connection is more myth than history!

The most mesmerizing part of the castle is the story of Queen Maria, one of the most important figures in Romanian history!

What an amazing and exciting time they had!

[AppState RCOE @AppstateRCOE]

Our students are turning compassion into action during their time abroad in Romania. Through a meaningful service project, they’re working alongside local communities — building connections, supporting learners, and making a positive impact beyond the classroom.

[AppState RCOE @AppstateRCOE]

This week, our students are taking you along on their incredible study abroad experience, Exploring Romania through Education and Service! Stay tuned all week and join us in cheering them on as they learn, explore, and grow beyond the classroom!
