2011-2012 Recipients
The W. H. Plemmons Leadership Medallion, named in honor of Dr. William H. Plemmons who served as the second president of the University from 1955 to 1969, was established by an action of the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees in 1996. The award was created to recognize the time, energy, skills, and commitment of students, faculty, student development educators and staff who exceed their peers in providing leadership that enriches the quality of student life and advances the education of students.
Six outstanding campus leaders from Appalachian State University will receive the W.H. Plemmons Leadership Medallion during Convocation September 6, 2012.
