Outstanding Alumni Award
Each year, the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) presents the Outstanding Alumni Award to a former student in the College. The award was instituted in 1998 to honor alumni who have distinguished themselves through their remarkable contributions to a profession, through their ability to provide leadership, through public service activities, through outstanding creative endeavors or through other accomplishments.
University Alumni Awards
Each year, the Appalachian State Alumni Association acknowledges individuals whose exceptional professional, philanthropic or volunteer achievements have impacted society and Appalachian State University. The awards are presented annually at the Alumni Awards Gala in July.
