This image shows a group of attendees standing around a table in a classroom at a conference held by the College of Business at Appalachian State University (1967-current) in the 1970s. On the table is a case containing camera equipment. The College of Business was established in 1970-71 with four departments, including accounting, business administration, business, economic and occupational education, and economics. It occupied Smith-Wright Hall, built 1940, from 1970 to 1976, when John A. Walker Hall, built 1975, was opened.
