Celebrating Gurney Norman & Bill Turner: A&S Hall of Fame Inductees

Please come by the Appalachian Center on Thursday, October 14, 5-6PM, for a drop-in to congratulate Professors Gurney Norman and Bill Turner on their induction (the next day) into the College of Arts & Sciences Hall of Fame. Both of them have made tremendous and far-reaching contributions to Appalachian Studies through their ongoing work. Here's a chance to let them know what that means, in person! Drop in and join us in congratulating them on this honor from A&S, and hear about their exciting current projects. Professor Turner's book, The Harlan Renaissance: Stories of Black Life in Appalachian Coal Towns has just been published by West Virginia University Press, and a new, expanded edition of Professor Norman's short story collection Allegiance: Stories has just been published by Ohio University Press.
 
This event is co-sponsored by the Appalachian Center & Appalachian Studies Program, the Department of Sociology, the Department of English, and the Commonwealth Institute for Black Studies.

EGSO Coffee Hours

Hello Everyone!

I’m excited to announce the first few EGSO Coffee Hours! Thank you to all who were able to give input on the interest form. Because of a dead tie concerning the time of day, we’re going to use these first 2 dates to see which time is more highly attended before laying out the rest of the semester. I hope you’ll come see me at Cup of Commonwealth in Cornerstone Exchange (near Limestone and Ave of Champions)!

September 15th from 9:00-11:00am (THIS WEEK!)

September 29th from 1:00-3:00pm

Cheers and fruitful studying,
