Report: Appalachian State named top employer of veterans in US

As we honor veterans this week, Forbes Magazine has named Appalachian State University as the number one company or group in the US employer of veterans.

A school report said App State currently has 118 employees with prior military service while more than 1,500 military-affiliated students are enrolled in Boone, including spouses, military dependents, and almost 300 soldiers or workers who came back to campus.

University Chancellor Heather Norris said veterans working at their school enrich their services and elevate the mission at App State. ASU has also been recognized as one of the top Military Friendly schools for the 17th consecutive year by the VIQTORY publication.
