Marc Pfrogner, an MBA student in the Walker College of Business, has been inducted into the Cratis D. Williams Society at Appalachian State University.
"This recognition is only awarded to the top 2% of students in each graduating class," said Dr. Ross Gosky, acting associate dean for the Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies. "It represents an achievement about which [Pfrogner] should feel very proud."

Pfrogner initially came to App State from Germany as an international business major to play soccer on a D1 scholarship. He served as president of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee, a Sunbelt Ambassador, and played varsity men's soccer until the program was discontinued during the pandemic. As an undergraduate, Pfrogner received the 2019-20 Mr. Yosef Award, which is given to the athlete who embodies what it means to be a mountaineer in ambassadorship, leadership, work ethic, accountability and community involvement. In 2021, Pfrogner received the App State Best honor as the top international business major from the Walker College.
