Vocational Educational Week, circa 1985

This image shows Chancellor John Thomas (1979-1993) sitting next to Boone Mayor Velma Burnley signing the Vocational Education Week proclamation, with students from the Department of Home Economics in the College of Fine and Applied Arts at Appalachian State University (1967-current) standing in the background in the late 1980s. Vocational Education Week promoted vocational education programs that teach high school and non-college students job skills and programs that train vocational education teachers. The Department of Home Economics is now the Family and Consumer Sciences Department and provides graduate and undergraduate programs in child development, nutrition, apparel and textiles, and family and consumer sciences. The man standing on the left and wearing glasses is Dr. Ming Land, Dean of the College of Fine and Applied Arts.
