It's been a busy week at Appalachian State. One recent graduate and two current student entrepreneurs have been featured in the news.
Just a couple weeks ago, Jimmy Hunt (2009 ASU graduate), organized the second Music on the Mountaintop in Boone. More than 4,000 people enjoyed a day of music and learned about alternative energy and sustainability. Just like last year, the whole even was masterfully done, from the very diverse array of great musical artists to great food and drink to interesting vendors and attention to logistics that made the event go off without a hitch. Way to go Jimmy! Check out the article in the Raleigh News and Observer from Tuesday, September 8,
Appalachian state junior Jay Parr continues to make waves with his unique all natural, meal replacement bar, the BooneBar. He's now selling more than 1,000 a week all across North Carolina. Check out the article in the September 10 issue of The Appalachian:
Finally, Joseph Toney (disclaimer: yes, he's related, but I had nothing to do with the article), freshman at Appalachian State, made the news this week with his startup, Jea Style, which makes custom hats, sunlasses, stickers. Fresh off a successful day selling products at Music on the Mountaintop, he was also featured in the September 10 issue of The Appalachian. Click here.
