This week, ARC welcomes 150 students from 14 colleges and universities across the Appalachian Region to Washington, D.C., for the 16th annual Appalachian Teaching Project (ATP) conference. Supported by ARC and organized by the Center for Appalachian Studies and Services at East Tennessee State University, ATP coordinates student teams from regional colleges and universities to develop applied research projects on economic and community development issues across Appalachia. As a capstone to their work, ATP student teams travel to Washington, D.C., to formally present their research to other participating schools and to ARC leadership. This year’s ATP conference features innovative ideas about how to integrate cultural history, natural attractions, and community health priorities into economic development initiatives. Since 2001, nearly 2,000 students have participated in the Appalachian Teaching Project.
