Our Mission
The Immigrant Mountaineers Movement is an advocacy and activist group, formed by faculty, staff, and students at Appalachian State University.
The mission of the Immigrant Mountaineers Movement is to:
- Engage students by strategically educating and uniting specific collectives within the institution committed to the Immigrant Mountaineers Movement
- Strengthen relationships between offices, departments, and divisions under the common intention of being visible, knowledgeable, and supportive allies to immigration-affected Mountaineers; [and]
- Foster awareness, skill development, and action planning through three levels of Immigrant Ally Training workshops for the Mountaineer community.
"Appalachian State University prepares students to lead purposeful lives as engaged global citizens who understand their responsibilities in creating a sustainable future for all."
