Welcome Back! JSU Welcomes Students, Community to Campus with Upcoming Events Courtesy Angie Finley, JSU Public Relations Where did the summer go? It hardly seems possible that area schools including Jacksonville State University will spring back to life in fewer than two weeks. With the return to class comes JSU MoveIn and SGA Welcome Week, kicking off a semester full of great activities for students and the community alike. Move-In takes place on Saturday, August 16. To celebrate the return to campus, later that evening JSU's Office of Housing and Residence Life will sponsor T-Pain in concert on Dillon Field adjacent to the JSU Stadium. The concert will be free for JSU students and is also open to the public. Matt Carroll and the Browncoats will open the concert evening at 7 p.m., followed by T-Pain. General admission tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the gate. Tickets are available online via ExtremeTix at http://bit.ly/TPain-at-JSU or at the gate. The gate opens at 6 p.m. on the date of the concert. Concessions will be offered on site and all tickets are standing room. 10 On Monday, August 18, there will be Movie Night on JSU's Quad. Students are invited to gather and watch Divergent. There will be free popcorn, cotton candy and shaved ice. Showtime is 7 p.m. On Tuesday, August 19, the campus will welcome freshmen at convocation at 6:30 p.m. on Burgess-Snow Field at JSU Stadium. Immediately following will be Get On Board Day and a cookout on Dillon Field. This gives students the opportunity to preview and join campus organizations. After soldiering through the first day of classes on Wednesday, August 20, students are invited to relax and enjoy SGA Casino Night from 7-10 p.m. in the Leone Cole Auditorium. The fun continues on Thursday, August 21, as mindreader Eric Dittleman appears in the Theron Montgomery Building Auditorium at 7 p.m. Dittleman has been seen on X-Factor and Ellen. On Friday, August 22, there will be a paint party and DJ from 7-9 p.m. on Dillon Field. August 2014 INSIGHT
