Change defined the spirit of 2021 from the very first days of the year, with an unprecedented attack on the heart of American democracy and its repercussions, and the inauguration of a new president. Politics stayed on the forefront of life in Boone, as students engaged in town council elections, in protests, and with all levels of government, resulting in the introduction of anti-discrimination ordinances and the banning of anti-homeless architecture. Student-led organizations continued to work toward their goals, as Black at App State tracked progress toward their goals for the university administration, and ClimACT sparked conversations about environmental and social issues in Boone.
