The winner of the honors scholorship, Kayla Mounce.

Kayla Mounce, a  sophomore sustainable development major at Appalachian State, was awarded a scholarship for her engagement in extracurricular activities.

Mounce received the society involvement scholarship from honorsociety.org for her involvement with the extracurricular organizations “Collegians for Christ” and “Students on a Mission.”

Mounce was also on both the dean’s and chancellor’s list.

Michael Moradian, executive director of honorsociety.org, said that it was Mounce’s extracurricular and academic achievement that set her apart from other applicants.

Moradian said that honorsociety.org hopes Mounce will use the scholarship to maximize her academic, leadership and networking potential.

Mounce said that the scholarship will go towards paying for summer classes.

Mounce plans to go on to work for the Natural Resource Conservation Service as an Environmental Educator.

“I enjoy working with people and community members to lobby positive environmental practices,” Mounce said. “I am also interested in environmental education, I love working with all ages and sharing knowledge that I have obtained through my educational experiences.”

Our Goal

We hope you appreciate this article! Before you move on, our student staff wanted to ask if you would consider supporting The Appalachian's award-winning journalism. We are celebrating our 90th anniversary of The Appalachian in 2024!

We receive funding from the university, which helps us to compensate our students for the work they do for The Appalachian. However, the bulk of our operational expenses — from printing and website hosting to training and entering our work into competitions — is dependent upon advertising revenue and donations. We cannot exist without the financial and educational support of our fellow departments on campus, our local and regional businesses, and donations of money and time from alumni, parents, subscribers and friends.

Our journalism is produced to serve the public interest, both on campus and within the community. From anywhere in the world, readers can access our paywall-free journalism, through our website, through our email newsletter, and through our social media channels. Our supporters help to keep us editorially independent, user-friendly, and accessible to everyone.

If you can, please consider supporting us with a financial gift from $10. We appreciate your consideration and support of student journalism at Appalachian State University. If you prefer to make a tax-deductible donation, or if you would prefer to make a recurring monthly gift, please give to The Appalachian Student News Fund through the university here: https://securelb.imodules.com/s/1727/cg20/form.aspx?sid=1727&gid=2&pgid=392&cid=1011&dids=418.15&bledit=1&sort=1.
