Director of Sustainable Development

Isabella King

Year: 2022

Major: Sustainable Development

What inspired you to join Student Government?

I was initially drawn in by just how much potential there was for student government to be the avenue for change I’d been looking for as a student and an activist. What sold me in the end was the opportunity that student government presented to positively impact the lives of my fellow students on and off campus, while getting to work alongside people who share my passions.

What drew you to your position?

Sustainability is a passion of mine, which is why it’s my major, and the thought of being able to put into practice what I’m learning about in the classroom is what drew me to the position of director of sustainable development.

What is your biggest goal regarding SGA this year?

It’s difficult to pick a favorite, but I’d say my biggest goal for this year is to radically increase the amount of collaboration between sustainability-focused organizations on campus. There are so many passionate and talented people working towards the same goals here, and I think we could get a lot further working together rather than separately.

What are you looking forward to accomplishing this academic year?

I’m looking forward to getting concrete dates for App State’s carbon neutrality goals, strengthening the inter-organization communication, and utilizing my position to provide a voice for the students to the administration.

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.
