Salvation on Sand Mountain Events

From the Office of Student Life website:

"Beginning in summer 2010, Jacksonville State University will implement a summer reading program which will consist of all first–year students reading a common book before classes beginning in the fall. This program will be an attempt to both unite this freshman class and to promote their thoughtfulness on a variety of issues. Students will discuss the assigned text and complete assignments based on the text through both their English 100 and 101 classes and their Freshman Orientation (LS 100 and LS 104) courses during the fall semester. Additionally, students participating in the C.O.C.K.Y. experience through the Department of University Housing and Freshman Forum will have the opportunity for book related group discussions outside of the classroom.

Jacksonville State University has chosen Salvation on Sand Mountain by Dennis Covington (15th Anniversary Edition) as its first selection of the summer reading program. Covington is slated to provide a follow up lecture on campus during the fall semester, which will afford this group of first year students a great opportunity to hear, first – hand, about the author’s actual experiences while writing his book. Additionally, this lecture will serve as a chance for students to ask questions of Covington and gain knowledge of his insight on the issues dealt with throughout this text."

On Wednesday, September 22, Dr. Hardy Jackson will present a lecture on "Southern Religion and Salvation on Sand Mountain." Dr. Jackson will begin at 7:00 p.m. in Leone Cole Auditorium.

Monday, October 4, author Dennis Covington will speak to the public at 7:00 p.m. in Leone Cole Auditorium. Mr. Covington will also meet with smaller groups as well as the winner of the Salvation on Sand Mountain essay contest. Admission is free for both events.

For more information, contact the Office of Student Life at 256-782-5491.
