After a comprehensive review and evaluation of the athletics program, needs of over $60 million have been identified. Comprehensive in nature, the initiative is designed to impact every Mountaineer student-athlete and sports program. A Mountaineer Impact, A Drive for Excellence will construct and enhance athletic facilities, provide critical scholarship support, impact the overall athletic experience for student-athletes and fans, while strengthening campus and community engagement.
“Our goal as an athletic department is to continue to elevate the Appalachian State brand and become an even greater source of pride and engagement for our university, alumni, fans, and friends,” Gillin said on Thursday.
