Campus Involvement

Find your place at Appalachian!

College is about developing skills that will help you succeed in your career and in life. Not only do you have the opportunity to learn more about your passions and interests, but you can broaden your mind and perspectives through your relationships with peers and colleagues. Developing strong leadership and interpersonal skills is integral to your success both in college and in the future. There are several leadership and campus opportunities beyond the Department of Campus Activities. Below are just a few to help you get started. If you need help navigating any of these opportunities, stop by Campus Activities in Plemmons Student Union and we will gladly help.

	Appalachian State has roughly 400 recognized student organizations! Part of the mission of the university is to help students develop skills to become good citizens and strong contributors to the communities they join. Clubs and organizations provide students with opportunities to deepen their passions and interests. Check out the Campus Activities website to learn more about ways to get involved!
