Mission and Goals
The Diversity Celebration at Appalachian State University is a multicultural festival of performing arts, craft workshops, educational and experiential exhibits by local and regional presenters and artisans, as well as ethnic foods from local chefs. This free event provides a safe environment for learning about others, while encouraging a deeper exploration of differences. In an atmosphere that fosters inclusion and cultivates collaboration between the university and the community, the Diversity Celebration is an evolving force imbued with a sweet spirit that underscores the university's dedication to honor diversity in all its aspects.
