Biographical/Historical Note

The Appalachian Events Committee is made up of students, faculty, and staff members who are interested in the Appalachian region, its history, culture and preservation.  Each year the AEC sponsors a number of campus events that are open to the public as part of their efforts toward prerving Appalachian culture.    The committee was started in 1982 with the goals: to support and promote Appalachian culture on campus, raise awareness of issues within the region, and dispel myths and stereotypes about the Appalachian people.  The committe then and now stresses the idea, "Know your Roots", and in doing  so, can look to the future for much more to come.
