Appalachian State University Announces the Dedication of Katherine Harper Hall

Harper was the first female to serve as chairperson of the Flexographic Technical Association’s (FTA) Annual Forum in Orlando, Florida, and the first female to chair the annual Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Institute Conference, in Cincinnati, Ohio. In addition, the National Flexographic Center and the Harper Campus at Central Piedmont Community College in Charlotte was named in honor of the Harpers for their contribution to the school’s various programs.
