BOONE, N.C. — In June, two new members joined the Appalachian State University Board of Trustees — Anita Greene and Quson Brown. They were sworn in at the board’s June 17 meeting by North Carolina District Court Judge Rebecca Eggers-Gryder ’83.

Appointed by the University of North Carolina System Board of Governors, Greene joins the Board of Trustees to serve the remainder of a term vacated by John Blackburn, who was selected by Gov. Roy Cooper to fill a vacant seat on the State Board of Education. Her term expires in 2023.

Greene is the owner of restaurants Artisanal, in Banner Elk, and Peppervine, in Charlotte. She grew up in a small town in Aiken County, South Carolina, as the daughter of Indian immigrants, and she worked for her family business. She holds a degree in mechanical engineering from the University of South Carolina.

As App State’s student body president for 2022–23, Brown will serve a one-year term on the board.

Brown was elected Student Government Association president for the 2022–23 academic year. Brown is a junior political science major from Salisbury and a Navy veteran who has been involved with App State’s Student Veterans Association.

Responsibilities of Board of Trustees members include:

  • Advocate, as appropriate, for institution policy views.
  • Be engaged in the university’s activities.
  • Contribute constructively at meetings and during times of crisis.
  • Provide development contributions of time, effort and resources, as appropriate.
  • Serve as an ambassador for the institution.
  • Be a willing resource when appropriate.
  • Use good judgment and be a good communicator.
