Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, App State Homecoming was virtual this year. Alumni Affairs asked me to record a video, highlighting App State History in ten items from the University Archives. It was a lot of fun to narrow down which ten items to feature, two of which are this coin and this souvenir cup.
