Bryson Stewart ’09 is powered by purpose — his commitment to others is seen not only in moments with future business leaders, but also in industry leadership that brought critical support to Western NC after Hurricane Helene.

[Appalachian State @appstate]

From being a student in the @walkercob and attending a career fair to becoming an @AppAlumni connecting with current students through mock interviews preparing them for entering the workforce, Bryson Stewart has a heart for giving back to Mountaineers.

You “Phil” it when he’s in Peacock Hall — Ostwalt's energy and deep connection to App State move Mountaineers forward. Thankful to this '83 WCOB alum for his service to the BAC, support of Building Leaders, and meaningful work in accounting classrooms, among other contributions.

"My foot was on the gas. I just had to find a place to drive to." Phillip Ostwalt set his destination to achieving his professional goals, and eventually, his path led him back to App State, where he has supported the university in many meaningful ways.

The Walker College of Business has long laid the foundation for tomorrow’s business leaders. The addition to Peacock Hall will help the next generation of Mountaineers rise even higher!

[Appalachian State @appstate]

Peacock Hall wasn't built in a day...but the concrete foundation for the building’s addition was!

12 hours, 154 truck loads, 1,223 yds of concrete
to create a concrete slab that weighs nearly 5 million lbs.

Watch the timelapse below!
