The Mission:
The mission of CuRvE begins by recognizing the unique features of this wonderful area:
- A picturesque, rock-bottomed river—the Tuckaseigee—flowing through the center of Cullowhee and hosting some of the best fly fishing in the world.
- Pristine mountains that provide an outstanding climate, spectacular views, and encounters with diverse wildlife throughout the year.
- Southern Appalachian & Cherokee cultures with their rich influences on literature, music, arts & crafts, and the fine foods that are grown on local farms.
- Western Carolina University—an institution with more than 9,000 students that enriches the region with knowledge, diversity, and economic vitality.
