D.D. Dougherty Hall is home to the Disco Student Learning Center (SLC), established in 1972 and part of App State's University College. The center provides holistic support services for undergraduate and graduate students that are designed to enrich their academic, personal and professional lives. These services, which help students foster self-advocacy and develop academic independence, include tutoring, mentoring, coaching, academic strategy instruction and executive skill development.
Did you know? The “Disco” portion of the center’s name honors Dauphin Disco Dougherty, one of three individuals who, in 1899, founded Watauga Academy — the school that evolved into Appalachian State University. Also, the word disco means “learn” in Latin.
