The Watauga 100 is a list of facts, people, places, and events produced during the year in Origins and Migrations and Contextures that all Watauga College students are expected to learn and know.

This list then serves as the starting point for Frames, which builds on, and creatively connects and explores, the issues and ideas introduced by the Watauga 100.

This list will be added to and updated throughout the year.
