Development of the whole student is achieved through in-class and out-of-class learning opportunities and experiences.

The Lee H. McCaskey Center for Student Involvement and Leadership is committed to the mission of Appalachian State University and the Division of Student Development. The guiding philosophy of the Center recognizes that the development of the whole student is achieved through in-class and out-of-class learning opportunities and experiences provided through programs designed to enhance cultural, intellectual, leadership, personal, and professional development. When afforded these opportunities for learning and growing, students will graduate from the institution with a better understanding of themselves and their peers, as it relates to their organizations, chosen professions and responsibilities as part of a larger community. The Center encompasses leadership development, student publications, student governance, new student orientation, Greek life and student organizations. The staff, through the implementation of student development theories in a variety of instructional settings, assists students in developing environments which enhance diversity, promote ethical and moral development, encourage civic engagement, promote the establishment of meaningful interpersonal relationships, and provide leadership and experiential learning opportunities.
