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.

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.

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

in the Theron Montgomery Building
Auditorium at 7 p.m. Dittleman has been
seen on X-Factor and Ellen.
